Facebook has a good policy of not allowing nudity. A webzine uploaded a picture of a woman in a bathtub that looked naked because the tips of her elbows looked like nipples. Maybe Facebook removed the post accidentally, not recognizing the difference. But what if Facebook removed the picture because it looked like nudity -- would that make a good policy?

UPDATE: Facebook has since restored the photo back on its site.

DAILYMAIL.CO.UK reports:
The snap was uploaded by web magazine Theories of the Deep Understanding of Things to test how the social network's terms of service deal with pictures that are misleading.

They should really be taking down pictures of those teenage trash that do that stupid duck face in skimpy shorts showing off their butt and barely there boobs.

they looked too unreal (firm) and dis-proportionate to even be real/fake boobs. she probably would have drowned from the weight. However, there is no need to have a pic of you in the tub on your facebook page unless you are trying to sell something. just not necessary. I am sure her boss has seen this as well as all of ner family and all those online stalkers. you gotta be careful of what you post.

Nothing wrong with nudity, Facebook is run by some very uptight people.

unless you make a living being nude, there is no need to post it. another issue is that folks do not secure their pages so that only certain people can view them....software like Net Nanny does not actively block social networking sites making it easier for children to view them.

To be fair, her elbows look like nipples on a pair of huge tits.

If those really are her elbows, they sure do look like giant tits. I can see exactly why they banned it.

She has that look like an ex girlfriend you can't get rid of. One day you break up with her, the next you come home to find her soaking in your tub. "Oh, I didn't tell you? I made a key."
