Instagram has faced criticism for removing topless photos of women in the past.

The updated guidelines states that photos of "post-mastectomy scarring and women actively breastfeeding" are permitted.
 Nudity in photos of paintings and sculptures is allowed.


Users who break the rules are warned that their accounts may be disabled.


"We want Instagram to continue to be an authentic and safe place for inspiration and expression," the company states.

 Instagram's community guidelines have remained largely the same since the photo- sharing app was launched in 2010. Although there is now more detail, the main rules have not changed.
