The Flava video that was too raunchy for Facebook / Flava
Kiwi radio station Flava have upset Facebook with the social media giant removing an online video that was deemed 'too raunchy'.
The supposedly controversial video was made to promote host Athena Angelou and DJ Manchoo's week day drive show and features the pair joking around and pulling a few dancemoves.
The clip is just 15 seconds long and is pretty tame by modern standards but Facebook apparently feels otherwise.
A story on Flava's website explains the video was pulled "for its dance moves, in particular Athena's TWERKING, which was apparently too suggestive!"
But considering some of the heat Facebook has come under recently for allowing controversial content, it's hard to see how the Flava video is in breach of their standards.
Facebook's list of things that aren't allowed include nudity or other suggestive content, hate speech, credible threats or direct attacks on an individual or group, and content that contains self-harm or excessive violence.
Fans have also been quick to question why the video was taken down with many rubbishing Facebook's move as an overreaction.
"Are you serious FB?! That was aaalll good! What twerk though???," wrote one person.
"Nothing wrong with the video... I've seen way worse in mainstream," said another.
"That's TAME compared to half the crap out there," posted another.
Flava have since launched an online poll asking fans and listeners to judge for themselves with an overwhelming 91 per cent of people agreeing that the video is 'absolutely NOT!' "too raunchy".
