Madonna Offends Instagram By Posting 'Mature Content'

In today's "nothing new to see here" news, Madonna has angered a Power that Is by being sexual in the public domain.
The Material Girl was putting up photos on Instagram that apparently offended some higher-ups. It's not clear exactly which pictures were so troublesome, but photos she's shared include images of her ass (covered up, but cheek was showing), images of her cleavage, and images of her sipping an alcoholic beverage.
The message that she received from the photo-sharing site was put up on her account shortly after she got it:

Commenters, unsurprisingly, are on Madonna's side. matrox1983 writes "Instagram are a Bunch of losers."
nanaguzman123 writes "MADONNA IS AWSOME OF COUSE [sic]."
It's not clear exactly what Insta was referring to with their "mature content" comment, but whatever it was, they didn't like it.

So far, the pictures that may have been offending are still up.
