Breaking news for the LGBTQ+ community! Facebook and Instagram are lifting their ban on bare breasts, but only for transgender and non-binary users. The decision was made by Meta's Oversight Board, an independent body of experts that serves as a "Supreme Court" for content moderation and censorship policies for Facebook and Instagram. The board noted that the same image of female-presenting nipples would be prohibited if posted by a cisgender woman but permitted if posted by an individual self-identifying as non-binary. Meta will rely on "human reviewers" to quickly assess both a user's sex and gender identity. The change in policy is in response to complaints that the old policy discriminated against gender-fluid users. The board also added that there will be additional nipple-related exceptions based on contexts of protest, birth giving, after birth, and breastfeeding.
