This is the smiley and radiant image that got 19-year-old Samm Newman banned from Instagram.

The image didn’t get Newman banned because it was hateful. Or violent. Not because it was pornographic, or contained nudity, or was graphic in nature.

This selfie was banned because Miss Newman happens to be, *gasp*, overweight. As an Australian size 28, she “violated community standards” on Instagram with her body. More so, by daring to expose it.

According to US news outlet NCC41, Newman was erased from her friends feeds because she dared to deviate from the glamorous ‘norm.’

Co-incidentally, these selfies remain up on Instagram:
