Why Instagram is saying sorry for this movie poster

Instagram has apologized for removing the official poster for Spanish director Pedro Almodovar’s new film from the social network because it showed a female nipple, after the poster’s designer complained of censorship.

Instagram’s parent company Facebook told The Associated Press on Wednesday that several images of the poster for “Madres Paralelas,” which shows a lactating nipple, were removed “for breaking our rules against nudity” after they were uploaded on Monday.

“We do, however, make exceptions to allow nudity in certain circumstances, which includes when there’s clear artistic context. We’ve therefore restored posts sharing the Almodovar movie poster to Instagram, and we’re really sorry for any confusion caused,” the company said in an emailed statement.
