Facebook has been accused of censorship after it took down one of the most powerful images of war, a 1972 photograph of a nine-year-old Vietnamese girl, Phan Thi Kim Phuc, who was the victim of a napalm attack. The social network says the image violates the company’s policies on displaying nudity. “While we recognize that this photo is iconic,” a Facebook spokesperson told TIME in a statement on Friday, “it’s difficult to create a distinction between allowing a photograph of a nude child in one instance and not others.” The picture, taken by Associated Press photographer Nick Ut, has become an icon of conflict photography. On June 8, 1972, Ut was outside Trang Bang, about 25 miles northwest of Saigon, when the South Vietnamese air force mistakenly dropped a load of napalm on the village. As the Vietnamese photographer took pictures of the carnage, he saw a group of children and soldiers along with a screaming naked girl running up the highway toward him. Ut wondered, Why doesn’t she have clothes? He then realized that she had been hit by napalm. “I took a lot of water and poured it on her body,” Ut told TIME in an interview in late 2013. “She was screaming, ‘Too hot! Too hot!’” Read the full story behind the iconic photograph on TIME.com/LightBox.
