Facebook has reversed its decision to remove Nick Ut’s famous The Terror of War photograph taken during the Vietnam War after an online attack from the Norwegian prime minister, who said the photo had “shaped world history”.

Facebook initially said the picture, which depicts a then 9-year-old naked girl running away after a napalm attack, violated its community standards against nudity.

“In this case, we recognise the history and global importance of this image in documenting a particular moment in time,” the company said in a statement.
