Instagram curvy hashtag

Apparently instagram banned #curvy last week because of inappropriate nudity.

But you could still use #fatfuck

How stupid is that? Does it make you mad when social media companies dictate what you may or may not discuss?

It really bugs be when people bemoan about a lack of freedom of speech on social media. It's their site, their rules

Is it unreasonable to criticise the rules of any social media organisation then?

We now live in a society where normal life has become very closely enmeshed with social media across a wide demographic.

I would say that it is a sign of a healthy society to be able to object to censorship, perceived or otherwise, even when using a service which has "its' own rules".

If this weren't the case then would there not be a risk that companies such as Instagram become the de facto judges of what is acceptable in the day to day mores of our society?

This is especially critical when you consider that Facebook, which owns Instagram, will allow groups and comments which could be seen as condoning violence, but get very het up about showing certain parts of the body - like female nipples, when male ones are acceptable.

The outcry in the last few days has seen the ban reversed, but with increased monitoring of posts made using that hashtag, so that inappropriate nudity can be taken off the site to protect the young. Surely this would have been the correct response in the first place?

I don't do social media anyway. I'm well off the grid.

Of course it;s reasonable to criticise but complaining that instagram limits your freedom of speech by banning a hashtag is the epitomy of a first world problem.

Does this site not constitute a social medium?

Albeit one which operates within a fairly confined and well defined social sphere?
