Facebook gets in a lather about breastfeeding

Hat tip to Morgan for re-alerting us to the issue of Facebook deleting photographs of nursing mothers posted to members' individual photo albums on the social networking site.

I fail to see how a breast, mostly obscured by the back of the baby's head, could be offensive to anybody. And if some people do have an issue with it then they don't have to look at them.

It's time for Facebook to grow up and be more discerning about what it considers to be obscene.

Silly policy from Facebook. Particularly as it took me about 30 seconds to find groups with topless photos of Sam Fox

"I fail to see how a breast, mostly obscured by the back of the baby's head, could be offensive to anybody."

Never a good standard for judging offensiveness :-) It's not that long ago the Lord Chamberlain prohibited plays from using the sounds of flushing lavatories as "that wasn't the sort of thing people wanted to hear"
