David Tennant’s wife, Georgia, has criticised Facebook for allegedly removing a photograph of herself breastfeeding because it violated the platform’s policy on “sexual images”.
On Wednesday, Mrs Tennant shared the black and white photograph of herself and her daughter, Birdie.
“@facebook just removed this photo because it violated their policy on sexual images,” she wrote in the caption below before addressing Facebook’s founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg.
“Sort your s*** out @zuck or I’ll come round there and squirt you in the eye,” she wrote alongside the following hashtags: ”#breastfeeding #ifyouthinkthisissexualitmaybeyouthatistheissue?”
Mrs Tennant’s post has garnered more than 22,000 likes and thousands of comments from people also criticising Facebook for the alleged photo ban.
“Since when is feeding a baby sexual I don’t understand the virtual world sometimes,” commented one person.
Another teased: “Oh come on... it’s such a beautiful and sweet picture. I vote for you to go and squirt him in the eyes anyways.”
One person added that the photograph depicts “one of the most natural things a woman’s body can do” and said there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.
It's not the first time that someone has questioned nudity policies on social media.
Last year, Miley Cyrus challenged the nudity guidelines for Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, by posting a photograph exposing her nipples.
Aware of Instagram’s community guidelines, which specifically cite “some photos of female nipples” as against the rules, Cyrus said that she has been warned by the platform that her post could be removed.
However, Cyrus' post has not yet been removed.
The Independent has contacted Facebook for comment.
