'Dear Instagram, I'm a boy. I just have long hair. Quit deleting my pictures!'
A group of moms on Instagram wants to know why the app keeps taking down topless photos of their sons, even though they don't break any rules.One of those boys is Parker, the 4-year-old son of Tori Spooner. They live in Florida near the beach, which Parker loves.Spooner first made an Instagram account for her son when he was born, but started using it more in earnest as he grew older. She would document his beach cleanups, hoping to spread awareness about ocean pollution.
"They sent it and said it was sexual and we weren’t allowed to have it. It was pretty much just a warning," she said.Then it started happening on Instagram, too. The bans started getting longer and finally the account,, was deleted by Instagram two weeks ago. It had more than 6,000 followers and several years worth of photos.
The company's guidelines forbid photos of genitalia and unclothed children above toddler-age. It also doesn't allow female nipples over toddler-age. “This post was taken down in error and we are sorry for the mistake. We err on the side of protecting children and for safety reasons we remove some images that show nude or partially-nude children," said a spokesperson.
