Given this opportunity, she has a found a brilliant way to #FreeTheNipple.

Demone is launching the hashtag #DoIHaveBoobsNow and will post topless images of herself on Facebook and Instagram, “until those networks decide that my breasts have developed enough to be sexualized and worthy of censorship”

Demone is exposing privilege and hypocrisy all at one.
