If it's like any other Facebook monstrosity, the processes that "detect" such things are purely based around USA morals and values, such as they are.
In other words, show a nipple and the thing is gone. Show something racist and it's fine as long as it doesn't show a nipple.
In Australia FB doesn't care one iota about highly offensive content towards first nations people, perfectly fine with permitting the Australian equivalent of the USA "N" word, just as long as it doesn't show a nipple.
Oh, yeah, the banned nipple has to be attached to a female, preferably white caucasian. The rest seems fine, especially in an "indigenous setting".
In other words, FB only cares about its USA morality police and is perfectly fine with extracting money from everyone else, regardless of local sensitivities.
LinkedIn is the same. Not sure if that happened after Microsoft bought it, because until then it was not really a social media site, even if it did horrible things with extracting contacts from unsuspecting users who discovered that everyone in their address book had been invited, even if they were on the address book block list.
