Facebook banned Led Zeppelin's 'Houses of the Holy' cover art

Facebook has started banning artwork from Led Zeppelin's classic album 'Houses of the Holy', and really, a classic design. The cover was created by Hipgnosis designer Aubrey Powell, the photo was originally captured among the basalt columns of Northern Ireland's Giant's Causeway. In the surreal image, a group of naked figures (who were portrayed by two child models) are positioned about a skewed, mountainous terrain. This year, Facebook has started issuing their users a notice claiming that the album cover had fallen foul of the company's community standards on nudity or sexual activity, Classic Rock reports.
