Actress Lily James has publicly criticised Instagram after the platform removed a celebratory nude photo of hers, citing a violation of community guidelines. The Pam & Tommy star took to social media to express her frustration, accusing the platform of inconsistency in its moderation policies.
Outrage Over 'Hypocritical' Removal
James shared a now-deleted post featuring a tasteful nude image, marking a personal milestone. However, Instagram moderators swiftly took it down, claiming it breached their nudity policies. The actress responded with a pointed message, questioning why similar posts by other celebrities remain untouched.
Fans Rally Behind James
Supporters have flooded social media with comments defending James, with many pointing out apparent double standards in content moderation. 'If male celebrities can post shirtless gym pics, why is this different?' one fan tweeted.
Instagram's Controversial History
This incident adds to growing criticism of Meta-owned platforms' inconsistent enforcement of nudity rules. While artistic and body-positive content often faces removal, many users report seeing genuinely explicit material slipping through the cracks.
James hasn't indicated whether she'll appeal the decision, but the debate about social media censorship continues to gain momentum among celebrities and users alike.
