So I logged into Facebook today 31/3/14 to find that I had one of my pictures reported because of "nudity and/or pornography". Firstly I dont see why this picture( which is included in this link as avatar) is classed as nudity or pornography as my genitles are covered and nothing is on show.... nothing more than you would see on tv,in the paper, on the beach (on a hot day in scotland) or even in a swimming pool. So why when this picture is ART and can be classified as artistic perception of the human body does it get removed from my profile just because someone (one person) who apparently I have as a friend doesnt like looking at it justify it being removed????? I have seen porn videos, totally naked girls in sexual positions with another girl or man or both, babys being beaten, people being murdered etc All i want to do is share my own art work with my friends and group communities.


My second issue here is that, When I ask facebook who reported my image, purely for my own and my picture collection safety am i not allowed to know who this person is so I can Block and Delete as well as know better to have trusted them on my facebook in the first place!


So what I am asking, Give me and many others the right to post freely within reason...i.e not sexually explicit or porn or anything with genitalia shown , that you can freely see on TV, British newspapers and any other media. To be allowed and not discriminated against knowing who has reported anything on facebook only for the reason to be blocked and deleted as a friend, if not knowing just for facebook to do so themselves.

I really never thought this would take off like it has when I first started venting about those ridiculous photo removals. It feels like everyone is finally just getting it because honestly why is a bit of art treated like a crime while actual bad stuff stays up constantly.

Considering what Facebook allows; photos and images of people having sex, babies being beaten, animals being mistreated, it is an outrage that art nude images or classic photography shots are deemed unacceptable and reported then removed. What a bloody joke!

There is plenty of horrific material that should be removed from Facebook, artful depictions of the human form should not.

We are no longer living in the prudish Victorian era!! Facebook allows much more disgusting things to be posted! We ALL have a body, be it Male or Female, why are people being so bloody prudish!?!?
