Facebook Nudity Policy Draws Nursing Moms' Ire

Posted by timothy on from the isn't-breastfeeding-for-the-children-too? dept.

HSRD writes "Web-savvy moms who breast-feed are irate that social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace restrict photos of nursing babies. The disputes reveal how the sites' community policing techniques sometimes struggle to keep up with the booming number and diversity of their members."

    If you want to post your breastfeeding pics why not do it where it's welcome?

      There's a difference between a statue and a picture of real tits. The rule is simple. If you do not like the rule, go somewhere else. The fact that it wouldn't be "easy" for you to build up a network of all your friends isn't Facebook's issue, it's yours.

      TLDR: Follow the rules or GTFO.

      So should Facebook officially be considered an Anti-Tits site?

      Prospective users beware - in particular if you're fertile and have tits.

      BTW, how is this any different from a racist site, or any other type of bigotry? "Sorry, no Jews on this site." I know I kinda stretched it, but what's this prejudice about?

      What is the fucking rationale for Facebook to be up against this natural human act? Have they all been bottlefed?

      Facebook developers please get psych counsel.

    For you breastfeeding mothers out there, I really thought you could be much more mature about your pictures and realize that neither Facebook or MySpace is the place for such content.

    Oh, and this has nothing to do with "diversity", so lets not even get sidetracked with trying to shoehorn that BS in the justification.

    I'm quite certain, even without looking, that there are plenty of websites/blogs that would more than welcome such content and "camaraderie" between mothers.

    Are you serious??? Oh I guess cuz it's on the internet Common Carrier must be involved. Look read up on what constitutes common carrier status and stop mentioning it until you understand.

  4. Exhibitionism by Xistenz99 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    For some reason I think that the whole nursing the child pics and such are just a form of exhibitionism. YOu can take those pics, but thats what you want to show your friends, why not loving pictures of you holding your child. People saying its natural are right, however the focus of the picture isn't on the child as it is the mother, which makes in a selfish picture and negates the reason you wanted to show the picture, which is the importance of your child. These women obviously get some sort of gratification from showing some skin and the attention.

    Legally... where?

    The legality of something depends of the place and the local laws.

    But in "America" everything is forbidden now.

    The forces of diversity and multiculturalism are rather hostile to families. It comes from the idea that we're ruining the planet, and making more humans is one of the worst things that anyone could ever do.
