Fury in Norway as Facebook blocks 'Napalm Girl' pic...

Facebook censorship is under fire in Norway after a well-known author and a news editor were banned from the social media behemoth for posting the icon Vietnam War photo of Kim Phuc, best known as the ‘Napalm Girl’.

The whole thing began around two weeks ago when author and journalist Tom Egeland says he was banned from Facebook for violating its ‘community standards’. According to Egeland, the offending post included the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo from AP photographer Nick Ut that shows a naked Kim Phuc fleeing a napalm attack in 1972.

Because the then nine-year-old Kim Phuc is naked in the photo, it was deleted by Facebook. The social media giant’s decision led to a strong backlash in Norway, with many Norwegian users posting the photo in defiance of what many felt was unnecessary censorship of an important historical image.
