Photographer Nick Ut stands beside his iconic Vietnam War picture of the “Napalm Girl” at an event in Hanoi in June 2015Norway’s Prime Minister Erna Solberg joined escalating protests over censorship by Facebook Inc., posting the iconic Vietnam War picture of the “Napalm Girl” to her profile on the social media network. The controversy started as Facebook removed the picture from thriller writer Tom Egeland’s profile because of its rules on nudity. Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten then joined in and published the picture on its Facebook page, which was also censored. The newspaper on Friday also published an open letter to the social media’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, to protest the action. A little more than three hours after Solberg posted the picture on Friday morning, it was also removed.
