In a recent post by the 63-year-old singer, she said that she had opted to repost the images after the website removed them for ignoring adult nudity rules.

The photos, showing singer Madonna doing various poses in fishnet stockings in a room, were posted with smileys covering her areolas.

Meta removed images of Madonna

A representative of "Meta ", the parent organization of Instagram, said through the media in an explanation that photographs that abuse its principles are removed "the moment we locate them, paying little attention to who published them."

"While we understand that not everyone will always agree with our position, our guidelines are intended to help keep everyone, on an equal footing, protected in our applications, while allowing space for as much articulation as possible and reasonably expected ".

According to its principles of free access, the organization of the social network is in charge of limiting the display of nudity or sexual action, since some people can be delicate with this type of content.

However, it ensures that its use of the rules has become more "nuanced" lately to allow posts that show areolas in which a woman is breastfeeding, that show a mastectomy scar or that participate in a demonstration of dissent.

The pop legend talks about the reason for his censorship

The famous singer was outraged by the censorship of her photos, since, according to her, she did not commit any fault and even showed her private parts, since she herself censored them with emojis to avoid this type and inconvenience.

That's why Madonna said in a post to her 17 million followers: "I'm re-posting photos that Instagram abruptly removed without notice."

"The explanation given to my representatives — who are in charge of managing my social networks — was that a part of my areola was discovered."

"The truth is that it stuns me that we live in a culture that allows every trace of a lady's body other than a nipple to be on display. As if that were the main part of a lady's body that could be sexualized: The nipple that feeds the child! "

The American artist criticizes the different principles of men and women

In addition, the artist Madonna made a comparison about the rules that exist for men and for women. "Can't a man's areola be viewed sexually?" She wrote in the post, which has garnered more than 780,000 likes.

Madonna continued to express her appreciation for finding a way to maintain her mental stability through forty years of neglect... sexism... and criticism occasioned by this Stoic society.

Many individuals greeted her in the post, sending constant praise emoticons and comments accordingly, while others disagreed with the sentiment of the post.
