Photo stream censorship for Backdrops

I'm trying to upload photographs to use as my backdrop folder. The photographs are all of classical statues and art, paintings, sculptures, etc. all of the ones that show anything resembling a female breast or male genitalia are flagged as 'inappropriate content' even though these are universally admired works of art in some cases hundreds of years old. Is there anyway to get around this ridiculous censorship? Who does Roku think they are? I just created my account and I'm ready to cancel it and toss the brand new Roku TV I just bought in favor of getting something less moralistically superior. If there is an obvious solution to this that I've missed that I apologize for my rant, but no matter how you look at it the first impression here is that Roku is appearing to say that it knows more about what each of us need privately then we do. The Backdrops Stream isn't even public so the idea of censoring it is beyond ridiculous, it's arrogant and deeply insulting. I suppose if I want to put pictures of my kids splashing around in the bath on my Backdrops that too would be censored because naked children are unnatural and offensive? What was it Oscar Wilde said? "If God had intended man to be naked he would've been born that way".

Re: Photo stream censorship for Backdrops

I have a similar problem.   I am trying to upload pictures from our pool and lake party.   Adult males and females are in attendance.  All are covered appropriately.  Shirtless males and women in bikinis or one piece full torso suits.   Half of the pictures get flagged.   What's up?
