Breast cancer survivors told to cover up

Facebook has banned Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) and Bakers Delight’s Pink Bun campaign images of breast cancer survivors’ scars and mastectomies due to the platform’s strict nudity policies.

The images that feature in Bakers Delight and BCNA ‘s thought-provoking and brave campaign show women and a man without tops on holding buns and rolls over their breasts in an effort to highlight the real impact of a breast cancer diagnosis.

Despite previously approving the pictures for the campaign’s Facebook ads, the platform has now stated that the images are in violation of its partial nudity policy.

BCNA believes it is impossible to show the full reality of breast cancer’s impact if a survivor is forced to cover up and says the decision threatens to significantly reduce the campaign’s effectiveness to raise awareness and much needed funds for BCNA.

Do you think Facebook should reverse its decision?
