A pantyhose advertising of the American company VienneMilano is the last "victim" of his censorship Facebook. Σύμφωνα με την καταγγελία, που αναρτήθηκε στο site της εταιρείας και διακινήθηκε στο Διαδίκτυο, μέσω… του Twitter, οι μηχανισμοί του Facebook did not allow her to upload a photo from her new ad campaign as she was considered "pornographic".
The photo was full-length and showed the model to wear only the brand new nylon socks of the company while it was profile, covering the "points of contention" with this attitude.
Is porn naked body?
"Yes, it's nude," the company admits, "but since when is nude automatically considered pornographic"? And he continues the rationale of the complaint: "The human body is a creation of beauty. Too bad Facebook doesn't agree! We realized this, as he downloaded our image, thinking it was not 'compatible' with 'conditions of the community'. Frankly, we don't understand exactly how our photo violates these rules."
Facebook's rules in the Terms of Use sub-category “Nudity and Pornography” state verbatim: “Facebook's policy is strict regarding the sharing of pornographic content and sexually explicit content involving a minor. We also impose restrictions on projection naked. We share and respect your right to share content with personal meaning: from photos of a sculpture to family photos of breastfeeding a child."
However, this general definition of "we impose restrictions" on naked content is what allows Facebook to mark every time what falls into the "pornographic" content.
There are not even a few cases where, despite the explicit reference, photographs have been taken with mothers to breastfeed their babies, or photographs of women who, in the context of breast cancer information, showed their mastectomy - and these were a giant of social networks, on the same grounds.
The reactions were, of course, stormy in the world, resulting in at least two of these cases, Facebook itself admitting publicly that "mistakes happen", while specifically for mastectomy, the announcement said: "The vast majority of these photos are compatible with our terms. But photographs showing a female chest naked, without the effects of a mastectomy, clearly violate Facebook's terms. "
The "teat movement"
However, after the grief caused by this event, women cancer patients and activists identified the problem of Facebook in the… nipple of the female breast!
Concluding that, if the nipple is seen in a photo, the network considers it pornographic, they organized in the "nipple movement" and are protesting, pressuring the American giant to reconsider its opinions on the issue of the naked female body and pornography.
Even a documentary focused on this issue in the media, entitled "Free the Nipple", by director Lina Esco, where the distinction between male and female chest is cast, the question arises clearly: "What is more obscene: violence or a nipple"?
Facebook is tracking them talks our
In another case, Facebook itself informed the police that an adult user attempted to seduce a juvenile girl in Florida, the United States. The authorities visited the man and arrested him with incriminating details of his conversation in the social network with the minor.
It can be considered an "angelic act" that saved a potential criminal from a nets, but when is what we discuss in our private conversation is proof of crime?
For this particular case, Facebook had clarified that "we have not 'set up' an environment where our employees monitor private conversations, but instead it is important for us to use technology that has a very low risk of failure", meaning that it has also developed implements technology that detects "suspicious" dialogs in its environment.
The discussion about Facebook and the censorship it imposes on its content has been lit. At the same time - almost everyday - we learn about another crime committed through Facebook, from the seduction of a minor, to the recent "popular" cyber bulling, the interventions in the content that the user uploads to his profile for many is a clear violation of freedom of publication, even privacy.
