NIPPLES
Kerryn Gill-Rich, a mother-of-four from Queensland, Australia was barred from Facebook for a week for sharing a photo of a female nipple in a private breastfeeding group.
The administrator of the group Breastfeeders Australia had shared an article about nipple blanching, which explained why the nipple sometimes goes white after feeding but was barred for violating the site’s nudity policy.

SCARRING
In October 2016, hero former fireman Lasse (Lars) Gustavso who was severely disfigured in a blaze in Sweden has hit out at Facebook ‘censorship’ after it removed a photo of him.
When a friend posted a picture on the social network to mark Gustavson’s 60th birthday, it fell foul of Facebook censors and was removed.
It was only after his friend Bjorn Lindeblad complained in a post that was shared 30,000 times that Facebook relented and apologised.

NUDITY
A UK start-up company Friction Free Shaving that sells women’s razors was left bewildered after Facebook banned its ad for breaching the site’s rules on ‘sexually suggestive or provocative’ images in September 2017.
The video featured a naked woman with strategically placed panels of colour protecting her modesty, but the footage was blocked for failing to comply with the site’s advertising policies.

BREASTS
Makeup artist Claire Louise Willis from Dorset who gives free nipple tattoos to breast survivors who’ve had reconstructive surgery slammed the site after one of her ‘inspirational’ posts was taken down.
