But the lads behind Nutscapes are none too happy with this development – telling The Daily Dot that Instagram is showing some serious double standards on this one:

A detail that in most of our images remains obscured. A detail of a body part that doesn’t even have the necessary orifice that connects external to internal that seems necessary to even make it something adult or ‘censor worthy’.
