Linguist6514··on Meta shuts down global accounts linked to abortion advice and queer content
Censoring nudity is perfectly reasonable. There are people on Facebook for whom nudity is not appropriate. There are also those who just don't want to see nudity. Should everyone who wants to avoid nudity abstain entirely from using Meta apps? The purpose of Facebook was to connect people. It's SOCIAL media, not SEXUAL media. Nudity is not a requirement for connecting with people. Last time I checked, Messenger allows nudity to be sent in private messages and in message groups. It doesn't need to be, and should not be, on Facebook proper.

And to answer your question, "they" is referring to the people who were starkly in favor of censorship of right-wing opinions, and shadow banning and banning people who post right-wing content, or just generally anything that doesn't fall in line with any of the left-wing's billions of ephemeral and mutable narrative goal posts. I used "they" so as to avoid sounding snarky or antagonistic toward any group in particular, but you asked, so...

Ok. Then people can use social media sites that match their ideologies. I'm not saying anything against one ideology or the other. I'm saying that people are allowed to have different ideologies, and they shouldn't be shamed or bullied into changing their ideologies because, apparently, Europeans are sexually loose. Meta Platforms Inc. is an American company. Don't like American ideologies? Don't subject yourself to them. Use something else. Decentralyzed social media is pretty popular these days, and it fits better with EU's digital privacy laws anyway.

Also, Facebook doesn't need to become a porn site when Porn Hub already has comments.

Provide examples of when plain-clothed girls holding hands has ever been treated as nudity please.

It's interesting how they're so concerned with censorship now. Weren't they the ones who were all up in arms about censoring everyone with right-wing views? But now that the script has flipped, suddenly it's a problem. It's not like we didn't try to warn them that if they force open the floodgates of censorship, then it can happen to them too. Maybe, just maybe, we should all stop trying to control what other people think and say. Mind your fucking business and leave other people alone. I hope this gets resolved. I don't believe that anyone should be censored, whether they agree with my views and beliefs or not.
