Facebook blocks photo of Neptune statue for being 'sexually explicit'


London: Facebook has blocked photograph of a 16th-century statue of Neptune posted by an Italian art historian, claiming it as "sexually explicit", but the social media giant later apologised saying the censorship was a mistake.

Elisa Barbari had chosen the statue in the Italian city of Bologna, which shows Neptune naked and holding a trident, to illustrate her Facebook page "Stories, curiosities and views of Bologna."
