Facebook will allow shirtless photos of transgender and non-binary men, but not cisgender women

Target’s Fiscal Council it was announced a new policy that will allow trans and non-binary people to display their bare breasts on Facebook and Instagram, but will continue to ban cisgender women from such posts.

“The Supervisory Board believes that the removal of these posts is not in line with the Meta community’s standards, values ​​or human rights responsibilities.the Council wrote about posts by a couple who identify as transgender and non-binary.

«These cases also highlight fundamental issues with Meta’s policies.”

“Meta’s internal guidance for moderators on when to remove content under the sexual solicitation policy is much broader than the stated rationale for the policy or publicly available guidance. This creates confusion among users and moderators and, as Meta recognized, leads to erroneous removal of content.”

The board lamented that the social media giant’s current policy “is based on a binary view of gender and a distinction between male and female bodies.”

“This approach makes it clear how the rules apply to intersex, non-binary and transgender people, and requires reviewers to make quick and subjective assessments of sex and gender, which is impractical when moderating content on a large scale.”they wrote.

In 2013, Facebook censored clips from a documentary entitled “Free the Nipple”, which focused on the movement to normalize female toplessness in public.
