Facebook is the social network par excellence in most countries where it is available for use, however, in order not to have content that affects the users’ susceptibilities has a policy of coexistence in which it prohibits users Upload nude photographs or explicit violence.
Well, Facebook was responsible for removing several photographs from the “Look me in the cycle of life” account that showed several naked people, however, as well portrayed by the followers of this memorial blog of Spain, these people were not exhibitionists On a nudist beach, were Jewish prisoners tortured from a Nazi concentration camp in Mauthausen, Austria. This photograph was uploaded as part of the anniversary of the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Holocaust celebrated on January 27.
But it was not until Monday January 30 when Facebook notified the group’s administrator, Maria Torres, that they had deleted their publication since in Facebook’s words they should be in charge of eliminating any photograph that exhibits some kind of nude. Not conforming, the social network also blocked the account of María Torres, thus leaving the largest memorialist blog in Spain without administrator, and therefore without the possibility of uploading more content.
After the altercation a good number of profiles began to spread the same photograph with the phrase: “No to censorship on Facebook! They are not bathers on a nudist beach, they are prisoners of a Nazi concentration camp. ”
With the protests of the people on Facebook and several media calls to the offices of the company owned by Zuckerberg in Spain, those responsible for the social network of this country reanalyzed the case and decided to reverse the decision of Delete this content and block the account of the administrator, because in effect, it is a historical event.
However, Maria Torres, administrator of the blog, has mentioned that it is not the first time that Facebook has “threatened” to censor the account or specific content of the blog by exposure of nudes, which she describes as a social network run by followers Of Hitler, of course that the people in charge of blocking the explicit content do not put themselves to think if it belongs to a historical event or not, they simply follow the rules that the company demands to fulfill them, since we remember that it is a company other than Facebook the person in charge of Search for explicit content on the social network.
