The French Academy of Fine Arts denounced this Wednesday that social networks censor works that contain nudity, considering that this policy hinders “every day more” the promotion of art on those platforms.
The origin of the world (the origin of the world), from Gustave Courbet; The liberté guidant le peuple (Freedom guiding the people), from Eugene Delacroix, or even the Venus of Willendorf, a plump Palaeolithic sculpture over 25,000 years old, are some of the examples of censorship cited.
The Academy of Fine Arts, which promotes artistic creation in France, stressed in a note that platforms should not claim the right to veto the dissemination of a work for the sole reason that it “does not fully meet their criteria.”
The main networks, as he recalled, have introduced in their conditions of use that their dissemination policy it does not allow nudity and its algorithms do not distinguish between an artistic creation and nude photos of users.
The academy considered that this “grotesque situation” requires a reaction on their part and invited them to reflect on the freedom of dissemination of information “and on the means that must be applied to protect it.” (I)
