Danish Social Democrat MP Mette Gjerskov is accusing Facebook of censorship after the social media website blocked her from uploading a photo of Copenhagen’s iconic Little Mermaid sculpture on her profile, BBC News reports. The message sent by the social media platform stated the image contained “too much bare skin or sexual undertones”, adding that added that the rules applied even if an image had “artistic or educational purposes”.
“I hadn’t seen it coming that our national treasure would be categorized on the same level as child pornography and that sort of abomination”, Gjerskov said in a post. Facebook later reversed the decision, as in March 2015, it changed its policy on nudity to allow photos of nude art.
