So, about a year ago, I posted a photo of me actually out by a friend's pool, tanning, and I was wearing a sports bra and underwear, completely covered. And the accents on my Tumblr got taken off because they said that I was posting pornographic material: completely covered but fat, therefore, pornographic.

Recently, I had a photo that was flagged and taken down on Instagram. This is the photo. I'm sure I'll get a million comments saying, "Yay," and a million comments saying, "Oh, why would you do that? I'm so disappointed." I like my butt.

So, when Instagram removes a photo, you get an email saying, basically, "Your photo was taken down because it was flagged. It was deemed inappropriate in consideration with the community guidelines." These community guidelines include posting photos that aren't yours, harassing individuals or groups, sharing photos of illegal content, sharing photos of violence, and photos that contain nudity and mature content.

Totally understandable, but Instagram, I'm going to need you to define nudity and mature content for me. Now, nudity is defined as "Having no clothing. Permitting or featuring full exposure of the body." Now, when someone is in their underwear or in a bathing suit, we don't call that nudity. If we did, every beach would be a nude beach. Generally, nudity involves your genitals being exposed, which is not the case when you're completely covered.
