They’re saying, ‘We don’t actually care about you.’ And sometimes, a large entity that just says ‘I don’t care’ tells the rest of the world that it’s okay not to care either.” They have the power to save lives, to bring us into a world which accepts us on an equal footing. “In many ways, what Instagram is doing by playing it safe, being complicit to a society that says that we should be ashamed of the fact that we are born into a body that we did not choose, that we should be ashamed of our flesh. There’s also an interview with non-binary model and activist Rain Dove, about their experience having photos banned from their social media accounts: Later in the episode, The Verge’s Silicon Valley editor Casey Newton explains exactly how the moderation works, why it’s necessary, and how Facebook is weighing the philosophical question of artistic freedom against the reality of constantly working to keep porn off the platform. And Joanne makes decisions about her art based on what’s acceptable on social media,” host Arielle Duhaime-Ross points out. The platform, which has more than 1 billion users, has a chilling effect.
“That’s the power that Instagram wields over artists.
Like, there’s no reason a company, a corporation should be telling anyone what they should and shouldn’t look at, listen to and read,” Leah said. Why should they be telling you that? Why? Think about that for a second. You know, if Instagram is telling you what kind of art you can look at or what kind of books you can read or what kind of podcasts you can listen to. It’s also why the hashtag “free the nipple” has become something of a rallying cry on the platform in recent years. That means photographs get removed and photographers can get banned. “They do allow nudity in painting and sculpture,” she said. On this episode of Reset, Leah - who is “basically an Instagram censorship whisperer” - reveals what happened inside the Instagram meeting, how she started her petition to stop Instagram from censoring art back in 2016, and how she thinks Instagram’s nudity policy (in place since it launched in 2010) might evolve in the future.Īccording to Leah, Instagram’s definition of nudity includes: No close-up images of the human buttocks. The platform, which is owned by Facebook, is pretty strict about enforcement when it comes to things like nudity. The policies dictate which images stay up on the social media platform and which get taken down. You might be familiar with these if you use Instagram. Laconia is located about 25 miles (40 km) north of Concord, the capital of New Hampshire.Last week, photographer Joanne Leah joined nearly 20 other people from the art community, mostly artists and museum curators, for a closed-door meeting at Instagram’s headquarters in New York City to discuss Instagram’s Community Guidelines. The different definition of what constitutes nudity is based on "the traditional understanding of what constitutes nudity," that court concluded. The New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled that the ordinance did not discriminate against women, noting that it bars nudity of both men and women. The three women were given suspended fines of $100 each, on condition of subsequent good behavior.Īmong the legal arguments made by the women is that any law that punishes women for exposing their breasts while allowing men to go shirtless violates the Constitution's 14th Amendment, which requires that laws be applied equally to everyone. Lilley and Sinclair were both arrested days later while topless on another beach where they were protesting Pierro's arrest. Pierro was arrested on a beach on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in May 2016 where she was performing yoga while topless.
