Summary
Norwegian author Tom Egeland's posting of the iconic Vietnam War photo on Facebook was removed due to the platform's nudity policy, leading to a public outcry and ban on Egeland. After widespread protests and criticism from media and government officials, Facebook announced it would reinstate the photo, acknowledging its historical significance and the need to adjust its review process.
