Meta, the parent company for both Facebook and Instagram, has been told by its Oversight Board to restore two posts that showed a transgender persons and a nonbinary person with bare chests.
The board, made up of largely of educators, politicians and journalists, detailing the decision.
According to Today, “the Oversight Board has overturned Meta’s original decisions to remove two Instagram posts depicting transgender and non-binary people with bare chests,” the report stated. “It also recommends that Meta change its Adult Nudity and Sexual Activity Community Standard so that it is governed by clear criteria that respect international human rights standards.”
The posts that sparked the recommended changes featured images of a bare-chested couple alongside captions discussing healthcare needs of transgender individuals, in particular, fundraising for gender-affirming surgery called top surgery. Meta originally removed the posts from the photo-sharing app.”
