Photographers, artists and models often find their accounts blocked and removed from Facebook on the pretense of offensive content and nudity.  Their so called "community standards" make sense only in open groups, news feeds and timelines.  However, content that is posted within secret groups is NOT visible to anyone else and the members within the group are there with their own cognizance.  So why is Facebook penalizing like minded people sharing their work?  This has all the feel of heavy handed censorship and bias towards a very broad subject and taboo... NUDITY !!!  We are in the 21st century the inquisition has long been lifted but yet the mentality of Facebook and how they treat artists and models is very anachronistic.  We can all tell and artistic nude from porn but when the plane sight of a female nipple is reason to lose and block your account some of the conservative minds of Facebook need to rethink things.

Here is an excerpt directly from their public guidelines the so called "community standards"

https://www.facebook.com/communitystandards/

"Nudity

People sometimes share content containing nudity for reasons like awareness campaigns or artistic projects. We restrict the display of nudity because some audiences within our global community may be sensitive to this type of content - particularly because of their cultural background or age. In order to treat people fairly and respond to reports quickly, it is essential that we have policies in place that our global teams can apply uniformly and easily when reviewing content. As a result, our policies can sometimes be more blunt than we would like and restrict content shared for legitimate purposes. We are always working to get better at evaluating this content and enforcing our standards.

We remove photographs of people displaying genitals or focusing in on fully exposed buttocks. We also restrict some images of female breasts if they include the nipple, but we always allow photos of women actively engaged in breastfeeding or showing breasts with post-mastectomy scarring. We also allow photographs of paintings, sculptures, and other art that depicts nude figures. Restrictions on the display of both nudity and sexual activity also apply to digitally created content unless the content is posted for educational, humorous, or satirical purposes. Explicit images of sexual intercourse are prohibited. Descriptions of sexual acts that go into vivid detail may also be removed."

On the surface it makes sense but allows NO ROOM for Artists to use Facebook as a venue to communicate with fellow artists and colleagues and share their work.
