>A female exposing her nipples in public is considered an act of public indecency in states like Illinois, which is a misdemeanor
This is a very bad comparison. That's like saying "drinking on the street in public is illegal in many states, so showing any visual references to people drinking on Facebook is potentially illegal and should be removed".
>> Can we change the laws around it? Or why is that even still in place?
> Because it’s illegal in many places.
So... it's illegal because it's illegal?
That's the logic around most "moral" laws.

roots in conservative Christian thinking
This existed thousands of years before the first Christian, and in almost every culture on the planet.
You might want to re-examine your biases to figure out why you assume that things you disagree with are automatically "conservative Christian thinking."

It's unclear how that Illinois law would apply to advertisements posted on Facebook.
Edit: not that I agree with this law. It’s a very clear double-standard with roots in conservative Christian thinking.
