This is Why Instagram Hates Women's Nipples and Nudity
Oct 05, 2015 00:27
Instagram's only policy against sexy pictures are boobs with nipples. That's it. You can be as sexy as you can think of, but once you start showing them headlights, your picture is gone from IG. Even people like Chrissy Teigan, was temporarily banned for showing them off.
Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom explained just why it is so anti-chick nips:
Systrom said at the event hosted by Dazed Media on Wednesday in Shoreditch, London, that Apple’s App Store has strict guidelines on the types of content allowed within apps, explicitly banning nudity unless the app is rated 17+. He went on to say that Instagram wants to appeal to as many users as possible, and gaining a higher age rating would prohibit younger users who want to view PG-13 content.
Despite the censorship, Instagram remains “committed to artistic freedom,” according to Systrom. He went on to say that “in order to scale effectively there are [some] tough calls.” For Instagram, banning some photos of female nipples is one of these tough calls.
It looks like we're not going to be seeing this sort of thing uncensored anytime soon.
