男人可以露乳頭，女人不行？社群網站龍頭封殺女性乳頭照 紐約上百人在臉書總部脫光露點抗議

社群網站龍頭臉書與旗下的Instagram禁止貼出女性乳頭照，視其為「色情」，卻沒禁止男性露點照，長期以來被批評是性別歧視。美國知名攝影師涂尼克與全國反審查聯盟共同發起示威活動，超過100位民眾響應，2日在臉書紐約總部門前脫光光，抗議臉書的審查政策。

At sunrise on Sunday, June 2, 2019, 125 people posed nude in front of Facebook and Instagram’s New York City headquarters at Astor Place to challenge social media censorship. In collaboration with the National Coalition Against Censorship, artist @SpencerTunick created a photographic artwork as part of their #WeTheNipple campaign. The campaign calls for a change in the polices of both social media platforms to allow photographic artistic nudity. NCAC has written an open letter to Facebook, which owns Instagram, asking them to commit to supporting artists, rather than silencing them. NCAC has asked Facebook to convene a group of stakeholders in the arts to develop new guidelines for artistic content. Participants in Sunday’s art action covered their nipples with stickers of photographed male nipples, to highlight the rigid—and anachronistic—gender inequality in existing nudity policies. Svetlana Mintcheva, Director of Programs at NCAC said, “We recognize that moderating content for billions of users is challenging and draw the line between art and images that are not art is hard. Yet, if Facebook and Instagram want to be platforms for artists, they need to modify their current overbroad ban on photographic nudity, which harms artists who work with the human body, especially those exploring issues of gender and identity. We urge the company to adopt an art-friendly policy developed with the help of a group of global stakeholders, such as arts advocates, historians, curators and artists.” (Ncac.org)

2014年，臉書停用涂尼克的專頁，這幾年來，他一直在與臉書的審查政策對抗。他曾籌畫類似的抗議行動，包括2007年號召一群示威人士裸體站在阿爾卑斯山（the Alps）最大的冰川、瑞士的阿萊奇冰川（Aletsch Glacier），引起人們注意全球暖化的問題。

2日的抗議者手持的乳頭照來自男性名人與藝術家「捐贈」的照片，包括涂尼克、美國脫口秀主持人柯恩（Andy Cohen）、美國攝影師塞拉諾（Andres Serrano）、美國演員戈德堡（Adam Goldberg）等人。

示威人士說，臉書的女性乳頭禁令讓藝術家與用戶在探索性別與身分認同時受到損害，呼籲臉書改變其審查政策。

全國反審查聯盟呼籲臉書更改規則

全國反審查聯盟致函臉書，該封信由250多個社運團體與博物館連署，包括美國知名的民權組織電子前哨基金會（Electronic Frontier Foundation）、學術博物館與畫廊協會（Association of Academic Museums and Galleries）、紐約的萊斯利．洛曼同性戀藝術博物館（Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art）。他們呼籲臉書與Instagram制定類似谷歌公司（Google）旗下知名影音平台YouTube的政策，該平台在10多年前更動了規則，允許一些藝術裸體作品。

臉書近年修改了政策，允許一些女性乳房照片，包括那些參與示威抗議的裸體女性照片、女性餵母乳的照片、女性乳房切除後的疤痕照。
