Soooo done with big tech’s policing of bodies, aren’t you? Especially when there is no nudity.
According to THEGAYUK.com, meat magazine, a UK based male pin-up calendar and magazine had its entire channel deleted after YouTube said that the magazine had broken its nudity rules – except the video uploaded was entirely PG.
This isn’t the first time the publication has been targetted by big tech companies, like the Facebook-owned Instagram, having had its Instagram pages shut down and pictures removed.
The video that allegedly broke YouTube’s nudity rules was a promo video for the latest issue of meat‘s 2021 calendar, which featured 12 men, who only appeared topless in the video.
Taking to Twitter the magazine wrote, “It appears that we have once again fallen foul of the Social Media Nazis. @youtube have suspended the meat account for posting this video. WTAF???!!!!!”
In a statement to THEGAYUK.com Adrian, the magazine’s owner and photographer said, “I appealed stating that there wasn’t nudity in the video and that the calendar is queer/body positive rather than sexual and they responded to say that I’d contravened their policy on nudity and my account wouldn’t be reinstated.”
