British model Naomi Campbell posted her bare-breasted snapshot on Instagram in support of the Free The Nipple feminist movement, reports Harper's Bazaar.

Campbell added the #FreeTheNipple hashtag to protest against censorship accepted on Instagram (the social network practices the forced retouching of female nipples or the removal of irregular photos).

The image, which is part of a professional photo shoot for the model for her new book, also appeared in the Instagram account of Garage magazine. However, a few hours after the publication, the picture was censored - Campbell's nipples retouched. The same photo placed on the star page was deleted. Who exactly erased the picture - Campbell herself or the Instagram administration - is not specified.

Publishing photos with nude female breasts is prohibited by the rules of Facebook and Instagram, but is allowed on Twitter, so Campbell published a snapshot without retouching on this social network.

The users of both sexes using the hashtag #FreeTheNipple publish their bare-breasted snapshots to fight “hypocrisy in social media” (demonstration of a male bare torso is not prohibited, which is considered by them as discrimination). Among the famous activists are Madonna, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Rita Ora, daughter of Bruce Willis Scout and Rummer.

The Free The Nipple movement, conducting online and real-world campaigns, has been known since December 2013. Its founder, American director Lina Esko, made a film of the same name in 2012, which defends the right of women to be topless in certain everyday situations on a par with men, but it was not censored. Then the activist initiated an online movement by creating the hashtag #FreeTheNipple, which in 2014 entered the Twitter tops and was used tens of thousands of times.
