A specific case where the eggplant emoji and peach emoji can be censored is “post the emoticon with sexual content”. “Sexual content” here includes sexy images of women and links and references to adult content. When these contents, eggplant pictograms, and peach pictograms are posted in combination, the eggplant pictograms are interpreted as male genitals, and the peach pictograms are interpreted as pointing to the genitals.

Regulations on emoji are also specified in Facebook's terms.

Community Code 14. Soliciting Sexual Conduct
https://www.facebook.com/communitystandards/sexual_solicitation

The basic philosophy of the policy on soliciting sexual activity includes: “Facebook restricts content that promotes, recommends, and plans sexual relationships among adults. It can also lead to soliciting sexual activity. It also restricts sexually explicit language. '



Among the prohibited content that is listed as “Prohibition of the following content”, there is an item “Content that meets both of the following criteria”. This standard is divided into 'Criteria 1' and 'Criteria 2'. Posts that meet both Standard 1 and Standard 2 are subject to regulation.

The contents listed as the standard 1 are “nude image”, “sexual chat and conversation”, “partner of sexual intercourse and sexual activity”, and “sexual chat and conversation”. And, among the contents listed as Standard 2, there is a sentence that is 'contextually clear and general, sexual emoji or emoji strings'. This 'contextually clear and common, sexual emoji' now includes eggplant emoji and peach emoji.



This regulation is thought to be to eliminate encounters of sexual intercourse, whether for-profit or non-profit, from Facebook and Instagram in order to make the platform sound.
