Listen Live Graphics (Indy)

Facebook’s internal content guideline was leaked yesterday . . . that’s what they use to figure out which posts aren’t appropriate and should be deleted. Here are 10 highlights of what they will and won’t censor.

#1.) Foreplay like kissing and GROPING will NOT be censored. Even, quote, “for same-sex individuals.” But actual sexual activity WILL be censored, obviously.

#2.) Photos that show a side-by-side comparison between a person and an animal WILL be censored.

#3.) Photoshopped images MIGHT be censored. If the Photoshopping portrays the person in a negative light, the photo will be removed. But if the Photoshopping portrays the person in a positive or neutral way, the photo can stay.

#4.) Images of drunk or unconscious people with stuff drawn on their face WILL be censored. Which is a surprise, because I see these all the time.

#5.) Graphic photos of dead animals WILL be censored. Unless the photos are in the context of food prep or, quote, “hunting as it occurs in nature,” like a lion eating a zebra or something.

#6.) Works of art showing nudity WILL NOT be censored. But cartoon nudity will be removed.

#7.) Adult love toys MIGHT be censored. If they’re in the context of sexual activity, they’re gone. If you’re just, like, holding a vibrating toy, you’re clear.

#8.) Bodily fluids WILL NOT be censored. Vomit, snot, earwax, and anything in the toilet are all probably clear. But not if you post a photo of someone in the act of actually releasing bodily fluids. (–And obviously, not MAN-SEED.)

#9.) Photos of poaching endangered animals WILL be censored, and will be reported.

#10.) And finally, photos of, quote, “blatant depiction of camel toes and moose knuckles” WILL be censored.
