The Facebook removed the known photography Little Mermaid statue, representing the character from Hans Christian Andersen tale and is one of the capital of Denmark icons because of the nudity depicted in the work.
After have censored the famous Gustave Courbet’s painting, titled The World Source ( L’origine du monde in the original), the social network now focused attention on a statue located small rock in Copenhagen harbor.
The Facebook blocked the photograph published by the Danish political Mette Gjerskov to contain “a sexual connotation.” Gjerskov considered “stupid” decision, which prevents, for example, to share in his blog a picture which is one of the state of Denmark symbols.
“I can not advertise (the statue) in my blog because of a stupid restriction. I never thought that one of our national treasures could be classified in the same level as child pornography or other abomination of gender,” he criticized.
The social network created by Mark Zuckerberg has responded to criticism by stating that, after all, this is not an issue of nudity but of copyright. For Facebook, it can not and should not be published no pictures of the statue without paying copyright to the artist’s heirs who created it, Edvard Eriksen. However, Facebook did not comment the fact that the statue be public monument.
