That's a claim that's bound to tie them in knots of cultural relativism (a 
beautifully self-refuting argument). Putting this sort of ban on nudity is not 
being very sensitive to Western European cultures, for example, where freedom 
of expression generally outweighs men's fear of women's bodies, or adherence to 
Bronze Age nomads' ideas of morality. Didn't they host a number of decapitation 
videos at one time?

Just one more reason not to use stuff like Facebook, which, like others, is in 
any case trying to monopolise and control access to the internet.
