Facebook Bans Plus Size Model's Photo

Facebook has been slammed by a Melbourne feminist group after banning an advertisement showing plus-sized model Tess Holliday wearing a bikini.

The social network blocked the Cherchez la Femme group from promoting a post for its "Feminism and Fat" panel discussion.

The post featured an image of Holliday, which Facebook said depicted her body in "an undesirable manner" and did not comply with the networking site's "health and fitness policy.

The ad was later reinstated after the feminist group appealed the decision, with Facebook claiming it had been mistakenly censored.

"Ads like these are not allowed since they make viewers feel bad about themselves. Instead, we recommend using an image of a relevant activity, such as running or riding a bike", Facebook wrote.

Cherchez la Femme then responded by posting THIS photo - read the full story here!
