In 2019, Chilean singer Mon Laferte won a Latin Grammy for best alternative album. She also used her appearance at the awards to make a statement about violence in her home country of Chile, baring her chest to show the words “En Chile torturan violan y matan”—"In Chile they torture, rape, and kill.” The artist posted an image of her protest to Instagram, and that’s when the terms of service got involved.

Laferte’s Instagram post censors out her nipples, which is in line with Instagram’s Community Guidelines, which read:

We know that there are times when people might want to share nude images that are artistic or creative in nature, but for a variety of reasons, we don’t allow nudity on Instagram. This includes photos, videos, and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse, genitals, and close-ups of fully-nude buttocks. It also includes some photos of female nipples, but photos of post-mastectomy scarring and women actively breastfeeding are allowed. Nudity in photos of paintings and sculptures is OK, too.

For the moment leaving aside that nudity can also be a political act, as it was for Laferte, she seems to have gone out of her way to make sure to fall inside the rules in order to share her protest with her 2.8 million followers. The caption further drew a line under her protest, which, translated, says “My free body for a free homeland.” Her caption also says that the reason there are flowers on the image is because “Instagram censors it.”

While the post itself is still accessible, a later post from Laferte claimed that, following the post, the hashtag #MonLaferte was being hidden because it was reported as violating the community guidelines. If true, that means  a hashtag of her name was being blocked based on a post that wasn’t in violation of the rules, preventing the spread of her message.
