Nipple Tattooist Says Social Media Bots Keep Flagging Her Medical Work as Nudity
Nipple tattooist 'frustrated' by online censorship
Lauren Carter, a medical tattoo artist near Bristol, says Facebook and Instagram algorithms repeatedly remove her hyper-realistic nipple tattoos for mastectomy patients, mistaking them for inappropriate nudity. She claims posts are taken down 'nine times out of 10' and that appeals go unread, making it hard to reach new clients. Meta acknowledges its systems occasionally make mistakes and says such medical content is allowed.
It's interesting how the photos I post of male nipples following my treatments do not get banned or reported as a sexual image.

> "They shouldn't be treated as something shameful or sexual," she said.
Curious that the BBC is completely ignoring the UK government insane demands for mandatory OS level client side scanning malware on every device to block all nudity. This tattooist may find themselves unable to even view their work on their own smartphone.
> Carter says her posts are automatically removed "nine times out of 10". She always appeals the decision, but "it's as if nobody even reads it".
There are multiple large communities of people who have suffered false bans with no functioning appeal system to solve the issue. You are basically screwed unless you or someone you know has connections to the company that can resolve the issue. Politicians and those with enough fame or money don't understand this, because their accounts get special treatment.

The nipples in question are not real but realistic pictures, applied after surgery that removes real nipples. So it's a medical cosmetic tatto, not a bizarre erotic kink.

The funny thing about Instagram is that it's both:
1) One the most prudish social networks, in the West at least
2) The primary funnel to OnlyFans
