Dear FB, when will you realise nude art is not porn?

After artist Orijit Sen’s nude was flagged and pulled down from Facebook recently, Indian art lovers have vowed to fight by continuing to repost the picture
For the second time in just a matter of few months, graphic artist and designer Orijit Sen’s artwork was taken down from social media. While in November a portrait titled ‘Punjaban’ was removed (and later restored), the latest one to be flagged down is a work titled ‘She came in through the bathroom window’.The reason being “Objectionable nudity”. Soon, there was action — supporters asked the artist to inbox them the image that was pulled down, and then, reposted it from their accounts and shared it widely, in a bid to “tell Facebook it can’t muzzle our freedom of choice and expression with its moral policing.”
But just as quickly as that campaign began, the art work went missing from the walls yet again. But Sen’s supporters fighting for freedom of expression refuse to cow down. The campaign continues, with the picture in question being posted persistently. They don’t plan to stop until it is allowed to stay online. If Sen’s fight sounds familiar, then it’s because it comes close on the heels of #FBNudityDay — a worldwide protest. Irked by the arbitrary censorship of art and images that depict the nude human body, users from across the globe vowed to protest by flooding timelines with nude art, photographs and sculptures. Interestingly, Facebook’s policy on the objectionable content reads: “We restrict the display of nudity because some audiences within our global community may be sensitive to this type of content — particularly because of their cultural background or age.” But it does go on to add, that there are exceptions, like images of breastfeeding or post-mastectomy photos. The policy also clearly states: “We allow photographs of paintings, sculptures, and other art that depicts nude figures.” But none of that stopped Sen’s work from being pulled down. The artist, who recalls being flooded with notifications, says, “What’s really devious about how this works is that the people can anonymously report a post, but you have no way of getting back or even questioning why it was taken down.”
According to Facebook spokesperson, "Our policy prohibits photos of actual nude people, not paintings or sculptures. We recognize that this policy might in some cases result in the removal of artistic works; however, it is designed to ensure Facebook remains a safe, secure and trusted environment for all users, including the many children (over the age of 13) who use the site."
Policy or policing?
“There is so much of violence and pornographic content online. This makes it even more important for us to battle censorship to ensure that there is positive representation of the of art, of nudity and women!” Orijit Sen, artist
“My nude art has been taken down too. The problem with censoring art on a people’s platform is that the standard for what can be consumed online is being set by Facebook. There should be a better review policy.” Balbir Krishan, artist
