Bumble won't allow you to share bikini, bra photos indoors

Dating app Bumble has a strange policy in place that we won't surprise you'll question. You can apparently take swimsuit and bra photos outdoors but not indoors. The app, which markets itself as empowering to women, took down pictures of artist Cali Rockowitz wearing a bralette indoors. If you took that or shirtless outdoors, then it's okay (but don't attempt to fake an outdoor shot).

According to the company, this policy took effect in 2016 after receiving complaints from users and research. According to the company, shirtless bathroom selfies were the "most swiped left on," so it decided to crack down on swimsuit and underwear shots, too. But if taken outdoors, these reflect a "natural setting" for bikinis. As Rockowitz commented on BuzzFeed News' story, "If they're going to enact the policy, they should assess it on a case by case basis. They can't just blanket this algorithm."
