Facebook updates Instagram's nudity policy after Oversight Board recommendation Image: Getty Images 2021-02-25 23:40:16 UTC A month after the fresh-faced Facebook Oversight Board published 17 recommendations for how the platform could improve its content moderation, Facebook has responded with a resounding âOK, but it depends.â One of the more significant changes Facebook will adopt relates to Instagramâs nudity policy, to clarify that "health-related nudity" is allowed. The Oversight Board, which is an independent entity that rules on knotty content cases across all of Facebookâs platforms, recommended that Facebook update Instagramâs community guidelines around adult nudity to clarify that some nudity â if it is health-related, photos of breastfeeding, giving birth, breast cancer awareness, gender confirmation surgery, or in an act of protest â is allowed on the platform. Facebook agreed. It will take a while for that to go into effect holistically, but Facebook says it'll provide progress updates. It's not necessarily a win for the #FreeTheNipple movement, but it's at least a step towards nuance.
