Read our privacy policy Miley Cyrus has challenged Instagram’s nudity guidelines by posting a photograph exposing her nipples. “The only thing the ‘new me’ loves more than a mirror selfie is a self timed one.” 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. “I’ve been warned by the gram gods!” Cyrus’ post comes days after Amber Heard posted a topless photograph of Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa to condemn Instagram’s double standards regarding nudity guidelines between men and women. “In honour of IG’s rigorous and equitable Community Guidelines against showing the Female nipple.and since mine enjoyed the brief privilege that’s afforded to my male counterparts…I decided to pay homage by replacing it with a picture that DID meet IG’s strict nudity guidelines and such careful gender policies,” Heard wrote in the caption.
