YouTube lift ban of Justin Timberlake video, declare nude scenes as art

Despite their often strict nudity rules when it comes to music videos, Youtube have deemed the clip for ‘Tunnel Vision’ by Justin Timberlake an “exception to the rules” thus lifting their previous ban.

After being taken down off YouTube due to scenes of JT and Timbaland’s faces being projected onto a series of unclothed women, Justin Timberlake’s video for the new single has now been declared appropriate viewing, even going far as being labelled as art.

A spokesperson told ABC News: “While our Guidelines generally prohibit nudity, we make exceptions when it is presented in an educational, documentary or artistic context, and take care to add appropriate warnings and age-restrictions.”
