정책 근거
Meta 커뮤니티에는 문화적 배경이나 연령 등으로 인해 나체 이미지에 민감한 반응을 보이는 사람이 있을 수 있으므로 나체 이미지 또는 성적 행위의 묘사를 제한합니다.
저희는 나체 이미지가 시위의 한 형태, 특정 사안에 대한 인지도 제고, 교육 또는 의학적 사유를 포함한 다양한 이유로 공유될 수 있음을 알고 있습니다. 적절한 상황이고 이러한 의도가 명백한 경우 저희는 이런 콘텐츠를 허용합니다. 예를 들어 저희는 유두가 포함된 여성의 가슴 이미지를 일부 제한하지만, 시위 행위를 묘사하거나, 직접 모유를 수유하거나 유방 절제 수술 후의 모습을 보여주는 사진들은 허용합니다(민감한 경고 화면 및 연령 기반 제한 레이블이 표시되는 경우도 있음). 저희는 그림, 조각 등의 사진과 같이 나체 이미지를 묘사하는 실물 예술 작품도 허용합니다(민감한 경고 화면 및 연령 기반 제한 관련 레이블이 표시되는 경우도 있음). 저희는 합의되지 않았거나 미성년자가 등장하는 콘텐츠의 공유를 막기 위해 기본적으로 성적인 이미지를 삭제합니다.
본 방침에 따라 저희는 '사실적'인지(실제 사람처럼 보이는지) 여부에 상관없이 실제 나체 이미지와 성적 행위를 묘사하는 사진 및 동영상, AI 또는 컴퓨터에서 생성된 나체 이미지 및 성적 행위 영상, 디지털 이미지를 삭제합니다. 위에서 언급한 것처럼 저희는 실물 예술과 특정 의료, 교육 및 인식 재고 콘텐츠도 신중하게 허용하고 있습니다. 자세한 내용은 본 방침을 참조하세요.

Policy Rationale
We restrict the display of nudity or sexual activity because some people in our community may be sensitive to this type of content, particularly due to cultural background or age.
We understand that nudity can be shared for a variety of reasons, including as a form of protest, to raise awareness about a cause or for educational or medical reasons. Where appropriate and such intent is clear, we make allowances for the content. For example, while we restrict some images of female breasts that include the nipple, we allow other images, including those depicting acts of protest, women actively engaged in breast-feeding and photos of post-mastectomy scarring (sometimes labeled with a sensitive warning screen and age-based restrictions). We also allow real world art that depicts nudity such as photographs of paintings, sculptures, etc (sometimes labeled with a sensitive warning screen and age-based restrictions). We default to removing sexual imagery to prevent the sharing of non-consensual or underage content.
Under this policy, we remove real photographs and videos of nudity and sexual activity, AI- or computer-generated images of nudity and sexual activity, and digital imagery, regardless of whether it looks “photorealistic” (as in, it looks like a real person). As noted above, we also make careful allowances for real world art and certain medical, educational, and awareness-raising content, and these are detailed in the policy.

This policy has been updated to reflect increased restrictions on content with Adult Nudity and Sexual Activity. We will remove more content from being shown to all users, and implement stricter guidelines for content that is shown to minors.
Policy Rationale
We restrict the display of nudity or sexual activity because some people in our community may be sensitive to this type of content, particularly due to cultural background or age.
We understand that nudity can be shared for a variety of reasons, including as a form of protest, to raise awareness about a cause or for educational or medical reasons. Where appropriate and such intent is clear, we make allowances for the content. For example, while we restrict some images of female breasts that include the nipple, we allow other images, including those depicting acts of protest, women actively engaged in breast-feeding and photos of post-mastectomy scarring. We also allow real world art that depicts nudity such as photographs of paintings, sculptures, etc. We default to removing sexual imagery to prevent the sharing of non-consensual or underage content.
Under this policy, we remove real photographs and videos of nudity and sexual activity, AI- or computer-generated images of nudity and sexual activity, and digital imagery, regardless of whether it looks “photorealistic” (as in, it looks like a real person). As noted above, we also make careful allowances for real world art and certain medical, educational, and awareness-raising content, and these are detailed in the policy.

Policy Rationale
We restrict the display of nudity or sexual activity because some people in our community may be sensitive to this type of content, particularly due to cultural background or age.
We understand that nudity can be shared for a variety of reasons, including as a form of protest, to raise awareness about a cause or for educational or medical reasons. Where appropriate and such intent is clear, we make allowances for the content. For example, while we restrict some images of female breasts that include the nipple, we allow other images, including those depicting acts of protest, women actively engaged in breast-feeding and photos of post-mastectomy scarring. We also allow real world art that depicts nudity such as photographs of paintings, sculptures, etc. We default to removing sexual imagery to prevent the sharing of non-consensual or underage content.
Under this policy, we remove real photographs and videos of nudity and sexual activity, AI- or computer-generated images of nudity and sexual activity, and digital imagery, regardless of whether it looks “photorealistic” (as in, it looks like a real person). As noted above, we also make careful allowances for real world art and certain medical, educational, and awareness-raising content, and these are detailed in the policy.
Content relating to child nudity is addressed in our Community Standard on Child Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Nudity.
