Naked model photos welcomed back One month ago, models, singers and artists who love taking and spreading nude photos on the Internet had to say goodbye to their hobby after the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism decided to ban such activity. Illustrative image Under the circular issued by the ministry, models and beauty pageant winners were banned from taking naked photos of themselves or recording themselves naked or wearing “inappropriate” clothing and deliberately or accidentally spreading these images online. The move was made by the ministry after it felt shocked and fretted when some models and beauty pageant winners took nude photos and spread them on the Internet. However, after the ban was issued and posted online for public comment, it received strong criticism from the public, especially the press and models. Also, after the circular was issued, many models and beauty pageant winners still took and posted naked photos on their Facebook pages. Director of the ministry’s Department of Legal Affairs, Hoàng Minh Thái said the ministry decided to kill the ban because the circular received many objections and to avoid it overlapping with other regulations. The ban was killed as easily as it was issued one month ago. So welcome back naked model photos. VNS
