Nala is a Melbourne-based brand that conducted a campaign focused on the normalization of breastfeeding in public.
Headlines:
The post, which came as part of Nala's bold new campaign, was flagged for 'nudity or sexual activity' by Meta's automated systems.
But instead of backing down, the Melbourne-based brand has now fought back, taking a stand for women's rights and the normalisation of breastfeeding in public.
In response to the removal, Nala reposted the image, along with a screenshot of Meta's report, which claimed the post violated their nudity guidelines.
The image was met with overwhelming support from Nala's followers, with hundreds of comments calling out Meta's decision as outdated and sexist.
The brand appealed the removal, and after significant backlash, Meta reinstated the original carousel of images, which is now boldly captioned: 'No edits, no apologies.'
Social Media Image Ban
The influential realm of social media has, once again, found itself enmeshed in a controversy of considerable magnitude. The iconic Australian lingerie brand, Nala, has taken umbrage with a recent decision to remove a photograph of the renowned Australian model, Simone Holtznagel, breastfeeding her infant in a public setting.
The photograph, ostensibly taken as part of a campaign aimed at promoting the normalization of breastfeeding in public, was deemed egregious by the social media platform in question, warranting its immediate removal. As a result, "Nala has issued a scathing rebuke," asserting that the suppression of such a candid and informative image is not only a gratuitous example of censorship... but also an affront to the rights of women to express themselves freely in public spaces.
The lingerie brand has further emphasized that the image in question is an earnest attempt to break down the stigmatic barriers surrounding breastfeeding... and to redefine the public perception of this natural and essential aspect of maternal nurturing. The full details of this event were first published in the esteemed Mail Online.

As she delves into the story:
Correspondent Jane Smith is struck by the boldness of Nala's campaign to normalize breastfeeding in public. A quick scan of online forums and social media groups reveals a mix of reactions, with some lauding the brand's efforts to break down stigmatic barriers, while others remain skeptical.
Smith notes that a study published in the Journal of Human Lactation found that normalization of breastfeeding can lead to increased confidence and frequency among breastfeeding mother s. A report by the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding up to six months, "emphasizing the importance of public acceptance." Smith also references a UNICEF report that notes the lack of public support and infrastructure for breastfeeding can hinder mothers' ability to exclusively breastfeed.
As she wraps up her report... Smith can't help but be impressed by Nala's unwavering commitment to empowering women and challenging societal norms. The information in this article was first published in "Mail Online".
