Facebook Bans Breastfeeding – Removes Photos
A Big grouping of Facebook users are prepared to protest because Facebook has censored the posting of breast-feeding images on their social networking internet site. As a matter of fact, the campaign to have such images permitted has drawn in over eighty-thousand people to join the cause by signing a petition. In addition to that, a Facebook group has been established, which is known as “Hey Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!”. The name sure gets right to the point, eh?
This all began as Facebook removed a great deal of breast-feeding related photos from their website, with the reasoning that too much of the breast was on display. Facebook was also clear that if such photos were regularly posted, the offending member could find themselves banned from the social networking website entirely.
I can see that both sides have a point on this one. Facebook is well within their rights to enforce their website’s rules however they see fit, although I personally find it hard to believe that photos of infants feeding could be very offensive — especially in a western culture where we see cleavage and suggestive clothing everyday.
