You could read through the 2,500-word guidebook to see what is and is not allowed on Facebook, but we have the basic idea for you.

Is this banned nudity or allowed?

Banned: Explicit images of sexual intercourse, images of genitals, “fully exposed buttocks”, digitally created nudity, and descriptions of sexual acts “that go into vivid detail”.

Allowed: Photos of women “actively engaged” in breastfeeding, images of post-mastectomy scarring, photographs of art which depicts nude figures.

Is this considered hate speech or freedom of speech? 

Banned: Direct attacks on people based on their race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability.

Allowed: The sharing of someone else’s hate speech “for the purpose of raising awareness or educating others about that hate speech”. Also allowed is “humour, satire or social commentary” related to hate speech topics if the user is posting under their real identity.
