Ah, Instagram. That digital echo chamber of major double standards. Racist memes? They seem to keep being shared without repercussions. But dare flash your bare pregnant stomach? BANNED.

Brittany Perille Yobe is a fitness model from the US, whose cramp-inducing Instagram account has gathered up over 922,000 fans over the years.

Brittany’s first child is due in February, and she wasn’t able to work out for her first trimester due to crippling morning sickness. Once she hit her second trimester? Girlfriend was back pumping iron. And feeling and looking AMAZING while doing so.

Happy to show off her results, Brittany posted this:

Well aware that the sight of a heavily pregnant woman lifting serious weights can be a little confronting, Brittany captioned the picture with a message for her fans.

“Six pack or big belly I still hustle. I only have around three and a half months left of carrying around this bump and will do it wearing whatever I want.”

Watch: The things they don’t tell you about being pregnant. Post continues after video.

However it wasn’t the body shaming comments that Brittany was (unfortunately) expecting that was the problem.

Less than 24 hours after posting the video, she realised her entire account had been disabled after receiving an email from Instagram.

“Your account has been disabled for not following the Instagram Community Guidelines and we won’t be able to reactivate it. We disable accounts that post content that is sexually suggestive or contains nudity,” the email said.

“We understand that people have different ideas about what’s okay to share on Instagram, but to keep Instagram safe, we require everyone to follow our guidelines.”(Post continues after gallery.)

The community guidelines dictate that there is no nudity allowed on Instagram.

“This includes photos, videos, and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse, genitals, and close-ups of fully-nude buttocks. It also includes some photos of female nipples,” it says.

Of course, it’s pretty obvious that in the ‘offending’ post Brittany is clearly not naked and can be seen wearing a sports bra and leggings – the same attire she has worn in many, many of her other posts.
