Teenager slams Facebook for deleting her nude anti-Trump protest photos

A furious student has blasted Facebook after it removed her nude anti-Trump protest photos.
Emma Dyason, 19, posted the photos to protest against US President Donald Trump .

But despite their 'important areas' being covered up, the social network decided to take the images down and also threatened to close her account.

According to UK Miror, Ms Dyason, from Fritwell, Oxfordshire, explained:

"Last week I produced and executed a photo shoot, taking a feminist/protest approach by writing sexist quotes made by Trump onto scrap pieces of cardboard, and having women pose ‘nude’ in the aim to empower women.
"I posted three of the images on Facebook, which resulted in many people sharing the post, much to my delight."A day after posting the images, I received a message from Facebook informing me that they had removed the post due to “female nudity,” and also threatened to close my account.“Due to the fact not one of these images showed any kind of nudity, as all important areas were covered, either by nipple tape, or the sign, I was outraged.” "They also state that they do not condone sexist behaviour, which in my opinion, is exactly the kind of behaviour they have shown towards this project."
Facebook’s nudity policy states: "We remove photographs of people displaying genitals or focusing in on fully exposed buttocks.
