INSTAGRAM is certainly no stranger to suggestive and risqué imagery.
The popular social sharing platform is an international hub for bikini babes and scantily clad models alike.
Millions of bare-skinned stunners, like up-and-coming Aussie supermodel Elyse Knowles, have even shot to fame by posting steamy Instagram snaps.
These bare-skinned displays don’t seem to raise red flags in the censorship department.

Yet, a perfectly innocent picture of a homemade Easter Simnel cake had one mother’s Instagram account deactivated.

Can you spot why?
Reportedly, because of its resemblance to a woman’s breast.
Fiona Moseley took to Twitter to tell her social network about the event. She posted the picture with a caption that reads: ‘My mum’s @instragram account was deactivated for posting this Eater Simnel cake. IT’S NOT A BOOB. #BoobGate’
Fiona continued to tweet using the hashtags ‘#BoobGate’ and ‘#FreeTheSimnel’ to correct what she called ‘Automated censorship gone wrong’.
Her story was shared across the internet and her mother’s Instagram account as reactivated.
Fiona’s mother posted an image that reads: ‘I’m back! #FreeTheSimner’ to celebrate.
Instagram relies on its users to flag content they deem unacceptable and the staff then investigate whether it should be taken down.
A spokesperson for Instagram told Mirror Online: "We made a mistake here and restored the account as soon as we learned about it. Our apologies go out to Sue Moseley for the trouble we caused her.“
