translated from Spanish: Almodóvar censored in the networks: they lowered the official art of his new film

Pedro Almodóvar began to promote his new film “Parallel Mothers”, but it seems the art created to sell the film was censored by instagram that lowered the image and removed the content from his account for not complying with the policies. It is not the first time that social networks block content because they consider it “not appropriate” and much is discussed about whether this is right or wrong or what is the parameter to decide what is acceptable and what is not.
In the case of “Parallel Mothers” the poster shows a nipple spilling a drop of milk on a red background that resembles an eye shedding a tear.

Faced with this, the Spanish director exploded against the social network and commented “You should be ashamed, Instagram”. The filmmaker’s anger was joined by the creator of the poster, Javier Jaén, who shared Almodóvar’s stance, where he was also outraged by the situation.” Unsurprisingly Instagram has removed the poster we’ve made for Almodóvar’s latest film #madresparalelas. I hang it up again. Thank you for sharing it,” the designer wrote. After the requests to restore the images from the social network multiplied, they contacted the creators to make a formal apology and communicate that they would allow the viralization of the poster in question. 
“However, we make exceptions to allow nudity in certain circumstances, including when there is a clear artistic context. Therefore, we have restored the posts sharing the poster of Almodóvar’s film on Instagram, and we are very sorry for the confusion caused,” the company said in a statement emailed to the Associated Press, in a snippet.
