The Daily Beast was temporarily banned from Facebook after posting a news report containing a photograph of a painting due to come under auction at Christies in London. The artwork, which sold on Friday for $1.9 million (US) was painted in 1991, and is entitled “Bea Arthur Naked”. Brian Ries, social media editor for The Daily Beast, said the journal was banned from Facebook while the social network investigated the potential violation of its terms.
