- (Photo : Facebook) Facebook mistakes elbows for breasts.
The controversial bloggers over at "Theories of the Deep Understanding of Things" have managed to make an "innocent" photo infamously viral once again! An image of an attractive blonde lounging in a bathtub was recently uploaded to the Tumblr site's official Facebook page - with her exposed elbows apparently too-closely resembling nude breasts and nipples! Thinking that the photo was entirely explicit and inappropriate, moderators over at Facebook promptly took the image down. When they figured out the "nipples" were actually just the young woman's strategically-placed elbows, the popular social networking site re-posted the pic with an official apology. Even so, the "naked elbow" has since gone viral!

While initially thought to be an innocent mistake, turns out the elbows picture was "Theories of the Deep Understanding of Things" (TOTDUOT)'s way of testing Facebook's (strict) censorship policy. Facebook's Terms of Service states that users will not post content that is "hate speech, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence." Site moderators immediately mistook the elbows for breasts and the image was promptly taken down to adhere to Facebook's policy. TOTDUOT's response - "FB moderators can't tell an elbow from a dangerous, filthy, uncanny and violent female breast. No questions were asked and the post is down. Imagine our surprise!"
The bathtub photo was clearly not in violation of Facebook's Terms of Service - this was TOTDUOT's way of testing Facebook moderators (who apparently jump on the opportunity to censor images before they even fully open their eyes to what lies in front of them).
FYI - TOTDUOT is the same organization that posted breastfeeding photos which were also taken down by Facebook, leading to a controversial debate over what exactly should be considered "explicit" content in social media.
Following the "nipple gaffe," Facebook quickly re-posted the elbows image with this official apology:
"This photo does not violate our content standards and we have already restored the photo. We made a mistake removing the picture and apologized to the page admin."
