Should Facebook have banned this photo?

Facebook banned this
photo of an Australian model for a very strange reason.
An advert of a plus-size Australian model placed on Facebook has been banned because it "depicts a body in an undesirable manner".
People turned against the social media platform because of their decision, insisting that it must cater for all types of women. Australian feminist groups voiced their complaints and Facebook responded by saying, "Ads may not depict a state of health or body weight as being perfect or extremely undesirable. Ads like these are not allowed since they make viewers feel bad about themselves."
Jessa Gleeson said: "I can see that they were attempting to try to tackle eating disorders – that makes sense – but at some point you have to consider that women of different weights exist on Facebook."
"They’re not policing women’s bodies when it comes to acceptable standards of beauty elsewhere," reported Kiis1065.
