GuySpy: Facebook Is Tad Homophobic

QUEERTY - Sep 28 - GuySpy, the location-based gay dating app, has run into problems with Facebook’s Community Standards, which allegedly prohibit pornography and explicit nudity. But it seems that those standards don’t apply for everyone. Facebook has a strict policy against the sharing of pornographic content and imposes limitations on the display of nudity. GuySpy posted this pic to its page only to see it taken down within hours by Facebook. GuySpy found that their pic was nothing compared to the page “Hot boy sexy ladies of Dhaka”.
