Seldom at a loss for words, Madonna claimed to be “speechless” on Friday (5.20) when she posted footage of herself trying to go live on Instagram only to receive an error message saying that she’d been “blocked from sharing live videos” on the platform.
“What the f–k?” the pop legend exclaimed upon seeing the note that read “posts from your account have recently been removed for going against our Community Guidelines, so live video sharing has been temporarily blocked.”
After joking that she’s “never worn so many clothes in my life!” someone on her team clicked the “help center” tab, and read the site’s rules about potential actionable posts that states “We want Instagram to continue to be an authentic and safe place for inspiration and expression. Help us foster this community. Post only your own photos and videos and always follow the law. Respect everyone on Instagram, don’t spam people or post nudity.”
“I’m speechless,” Madonna said.
The social media giant has expanded Community Guidelines that suggest sonly posting photos that are “appropriate for a diverse audience,” and stressing that nudity is not allowed. “This includes photos, videos, and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse, genitals, and close-ups of fully-nude buttocks.”
Though currently unclear as to which Insta rules Madonna may have violated, the action appeared to coincide with her release of “Frozen on Fire,” the latest remix of her 1998 Ray of Light single “Frozen” with masked mixer Sickick. The remix includes a new verse.
