Instagram has apologized for removing the official poster for Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar's new film from the social network because it showed a lactating nipple, after the poster's designer complained of censorship.

August 11, 2021 GMT

FILE - Actress Penelope Cruz, left, and director Pedro Almodovar pose for photographers at the photo call for the film "Pain and Glory" at the 72nd international film festival, Cannes, southern France, on May 18, 2019. The Venice Film Festival is kicking off its 78th edition on Sept. 1, 2021, on the Lido with the premiere of Almodóvar’s “Madres Paralelas,” starring Cruz.

Instagram’s parent company Facebook told The Associated Press on Wednesday that several images of the poster for “Madres Paralelas,” which shows a lactating nipple, were removed “for breaking our rules against nudity” after they were uploaded on Monday. Facebook and Instagram’s longstanding rules — and previous bans — have spurred the use of the #FreetheNipple movement and hashtag on Instagram, which is used by many artists and celebrities to portray nipples despite the rules. The ban does not extend to male nipples.The poster’s Spanish designer Javier Jaén told AP that he had questioned whether the poster would have trouble on social networks but stayed true to his vision after receiving the personal backing of Almodóvar.
