You have gotten the minds behind the algorithm that decides what is obscene and offensive to backtrack and allow the poster to circulate freely. It is your victory, a great victory. You must be alert before the machines decide what we can do and what we cannot do. I have always relied on the kindness of strangers, but as long as they are human. An algorithm is not human. No matter how much information the algorithm has, it will never have a heart or common sense. Thank you all, again. Hopefully the movie lives up to your expectations.” | Almodóvar wrote: “Many thanks to all of you who have supported the ‘Parallel Mothers’ poster, to those of you who have posted it more than once, to those of you who have debated the need for a sanity at the sight of a female nipple, and to those of you who have talked about it in the media.

Although Instagram's ultimate decision acknowledged the need for a kind of exception for posts that have "clear artistic context," the company notably seems to only apply to well-known work (such as Almodóvar's), as many artists who post works with with photographic / lens-based nude images continue to be suppressed on the platform. | |||
