Does this apply to private chats? Because I'll send these in a joking way to my girlfriend and some of my other friends. I know that Facebook messenger parses chats and won't allow porn site links and torrent magnet links to go through.
If Facebook really wanted to stop this they could make the eggplant less phallic looking or remove it entirely. Almost no one is going on Facebook to actually talk about eggplant. They don't want users to have the same plausible deniability when sharing a cartoon wiener that they had when adding a cartoon wiener as an option. And honestly, it is probably for the better that sexual harassment via eggplant is now expli…
Why police content, especially this content that seems like a total non-issue, when they’re in the middle of a giant PR campaign trying to convince users they shouldn’t police content any content?
I’ve never once heard someone complain about emoji sexual innuendo and if Facebook’s motives are to stop sexual harassment that might be the most half-hearted attempt in history. Someone who wants to sexually harass a person via Facebook isn’t going to be deterred because they might get reported (and then... presumably nothing?) for sending an emoji.
No matter Facebook’s end goal, it seems like an odd strategy.
Right because sexual innuendo is worse than untruthful political ads.
How will they even police this? If I say "Hey come over for dinner tonight :eggplant:", is that sexual innuendo or am I making my famous eggplant parmigiana?
Facebook users play in Facebook's house for "free", so they live by the owner's rules which can change on a whim.

I for one am still waiting with bated breath for the "eggplant parm" emoji.

> The Facebook Community Standards language is quite broad, not naming the emojis specifically but referring to “[commonly used] sexual emojis or emoji strings” as criteria which qualify as “Suggestive Elements.” > “[Content] will only be removed from Facebook and Instagram if it contains a sexual emoji alongside an implicit or indirect ask for nude imagery, sex or sexual partners, or sex chat conversations” > “We ar…
Thank god nude photos where male nipples cover female nipples are still fine.

People were censoring female nipples with male ones since that's apparently more appropriate.
Why not also ban the gun emoji? Oh wait this is an American company where violence is OK but sex is taboo.
Yeah let's pretend guns don't exist. Knives exist too, those are weapons, better ban them. You could throw apples at someone for long enough and probably hurt them a good bit, better ban them too. The sterilized world you want to live in is not necessarily the one that everyone else wants to live in.
The two aren’t even remotely equatable.
