It's Not Nudity, It's Art

I was a little surprised to see that this Saint Laurent video on YouTube entitled “Tan Lines” featured a topless model. Did that mean it was possible to post boobs on YouTube? To find out, I checked out the site’s Nudity & Sexual Content Policy. “The depiction of clothed or unclothed genitals, breasts, or buttocks that are meant for sexual gratification” was not allowed, it informed me. So, the Saint Laurent model’s breasts were allowed because they were being exposed for the purpose of fashion, not sexual gratification? This did not seem to allow for viewer interpretation. In any case, I felt heartened. Maybe the tech giants weren’t so anti-sex, after all. Then I tried to embed the video in this post and saw it was age-restricted. Anyway, it’s pretty sexy.
