(Image: E+)Overall, 2,400 photos were analysed - and 21% were found to contain photos of women in bikinis or underwear, or bare-chested men. The researchers explained: “Posts that contained pictures of women in undergarment or bikini were 54% more likely to appear in the newsfeed of our volunteers. “Posts containing pictures of bare chested men were 28% more likely to be shown. We will be releasing more information about what posts we do and don't recommend in the coming weeks.”
