The reasoning is nonsense.
It's just about being safe for work.
As a man I can get away with a beach shot of me and a hypothetical son both without tops on. On my work desk.
My hypothetical wife and daughter? Not so much.
- klyrs 4y agoYeah that's puritanism for ya. Where I live, it's technically legal for women to go topless anywhere men can. It would be interesting to test that as it applies to photographs in the workplace.
- runnerup 4y agoThis is true for a large portion of USA citizens as well. The lower bound on this is >13% of women in the USA can be topless anywhere that men are allowed to be topless. Purportedly, this includes the following jurisdictions: New York State 20200000 Wyoming 576851 Colorado 5773000 Utah 3271000 New Mexico 2117000 Kansas 2937000 Oklahoma 3959000 Austin, TX 961855 Asheville, NC 94000 Colombus, OH 906528 Eugene, OR 175000 Portland, OR 641000 D.C. 712800 New Orleans, LA 377000
- psychphysic 4y agoProblem is Facebook and Instagram are global entities.
- klyrs 4y agoAnd yet they don't censor women who aren't in hijab. Should you be using facebook and instagram at work? I know I don't.
- psychphysic 4y agoWhere do you think they should draw the line as a business case? I see a pretty obvious line allowing women without a hijab but not what might be considered child porn (girls topless). Unless you're suggesting that topless girls goes from fine as a baby to not okay as a teen to fine as an adult? > Should you be using facebook and instagram at work? I'm allowed to browse at work. But not watch what they consider pornographic.
- klyrs 4y agoThe line between nudity and pornography is indeed blurry; in fact there is pornography out there without any nudity at all. I can go down to the beach (were it not the depths of winter, I guess) and see naked people of all ages and that's not pornographic or even sexual. I live in the luxury of not being responsible for one-size-fits-all policies to be applied world-wide.
- psychphysic 4y agoSo as a business case where would you draw the line? Considering Facebook user demographic, countries its revenue comes from. I get the feeling people are trying to use Facebook to enact some sort of societal change.
- klyrs 4y ago> So as a business case where would you draw the line? I thought I addressed that: I'm grateful to not be in that position. Moreover, I do not think that it's a good thing for a single company to have consolidated power over the communications of the entire world as facebook has. If I were so situated, I would break them up.
- smt88 4y agoA lot of current IG is NSFW. That's not the issue. The issue is that allowing topless women will encourage even more of the porn industry to use IG as a lead generator. There's already a ton of that for OnlyFans. That's not a moral problem for a rational person, but it's potentially a huge problem for advertisers. Fidelity doesn't want their ad directly above a nearly-nude woman in a leather bondage outfit.
- psychphysic 4y agoNah friend of mine got banned from insta cause she had some performance art with a nip visible. It'd also make moderation of child porn harder tbh.
