Facebook to lift ban on Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy artwork

Earlier this week, Facebook banned the album artwork from the social networking site due to "policy reasons".

The artwork, created by Aubrey Powell, features nude child models Stefan and Samantha Gates.

According to Ultimate Classic Rock, Facebook has since backtracked on its initial ban. A spokesperson said, "As our community standards explain, we don’t allow nude images of children on Facebook. But we know this a culturally significant image. Therefore, we’re restoring the posts we removed."

UCR also report that Facebook plans to review similar content case-by-case, taking factors such as newsworthiness, significance, and public interest into account.
