This article critically investigates the reasoning behind social media content policies and opaque data politics operations regarding sexual visual social media practices and sexual talk, asking what is at stake when social media giants govern sexual sociability on an international scale. Focusing on Facebook, in particular, this article proposes an alternative perspective for handling various expressions of sexuality in social media platforms by exploring the wide-ranging ramifications of community standards and commercial content moderation policies based on them. Given that sexuality is an integral part of human life and as such protected by fundamental human rights, we endorse the freedom of expression as an essential legal and ethical tool for supporting wellbeing, visibility, and non-discrimination. We suggest that social media content policies should be guided by the interpretive lens of fundamental human rights. Furthermore, we propose that social media content policies inclusive of the option to express consent to access sexual content are more ethical and just than those structurally erasing nudity and sexual display.

本文批判性地调查了社交媒体内容政策背后的推理和关于性视觉社交媒体实践和性谈话的不透明数据政治操作，询问当社交媒体巨头在国际范围内管理性社交时，什么是利害攸关的。本文特别关注 Facebook，通过探索社区标准和基于这些标准的商业内容审核政策的广泛影响，提出了处理社交媒体平台中各种性表达的另一种视角。鉴于性是人类生活的一个组成部分，因此受到基本人权的保护，我们赞同将言论自由作为支持福祉、知名度和非歧视的重要法律和道德工具。我们建议社交媒体内容政策应以基本人权的解释视角为指导。此外，我们建议社交媒体内容政策（包括表示同意访问性内容的选项）比那些在结构上删除裸露和性展示的政策更合乎道德和公正。
