Facebook keeps going back and forth on what can and can’t be uploaded to the site.
Nirvana uploaded the album cover of Nevermind to promote its upcoming 20th anniversary re-release.
Facebook took it down.
Facebook does not allow photos that attack an individual or group, or that contain nudity, drug use, violence or other violations of the Terms of Use.
But then! Dum dum duummm….
Facebook put it back up.
The photo on the cover of ‘Nevermind’ album does not actually violate Facebook’s terms. Facebook does allow photos of naked children ‘that are clearly unable to stand on their own’ in a non sexual situation ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ so in other words, babies. Why? Put it this way – if a parent wanted to share some photos of a newborn with their grandparents, we wouldn’t want them to not be able to share them on Facebook.
Deeaarr Facebook,
You hire brilliant programmers. Is there any way you could hire brilliant cyber cops? The robots suck.
Looove,
Your loyal users. xoxo
On a happier note, we’re super excited for Nirvana’s re-release. We miss you, Kurt!
