Warning: This blog post contains blatantly sexual words and mentions of violence for the purpose of conveying my point about censorship on Facebook. Reader discretion is advised.

When I changed the name of my blog this month, I was able to change my Instagram and Twitter names without incident. However, Facebook was a different story even though they own Instagram. They wouldn’t let me change the page name displayed at the top of posts or the username which appears in the URL. Their filter automatically disallows the word “Busty” from page names.

I had to send six messages to Facebook Support and wait a week for them to change the page name. It was such a hassle that several friends congratulated me once Facebook finally changed it. While they still won’t let me use the word “Busty” in my username, I am in good company. Estelle Puleston of Esty Lingerie informed me that they wouldn’t let her have “Lingerie” in her username.

This frustrating experience inspired me to conduct an experiment. Since Facebook takes issue with the words “busty” and “lingerie,” I wanted to see what I could get away with. Before you proceed, please bear in mind that I am certainly not kinkshaming anyone! I just needed to use words that are blatantly sexual in nature. Are you ready to see what Facebook doesn’t automatically disallow?





When I think of all the reprehensible content on Facebook, I realize how disconcerting this truly is. A fellow automotive enthusiast died while drag racing on Saturday. People uploaded a video of the 200+ mile per hour crash to their platform that same day. It is still up three days later, despite many people calling for its removal. A video containing violence in India has been up for 21 hours now.

Death? Whatever. Violence? Whatever. People describing themselves as busty and talking about lingerie? That’s where Facebook puts their foot down. Since their idea of censorship has more blind spots than an 18-wheeler, I changed my URL to facebook.com/CensoredStyle. You can find me on Instagram and Twitter as well. Good night, sleep tight and don’t let the Facebook Police bite!
