Facebook Nudity Policy Draws Nursing Moms' Ire
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."
Facebook really isn't about networking, it's about ego stroking and getting your 15min of fame. Congratulations, you've got it. Now you and your sucklings can move on.
I don't care how many "friends" she has. If she doesn't like the policy she can cough up the $4/month and get her own site. Perhaps she could ask those "friends" to contribute.
Let me guess, you're one of those fat chicks whose saggy tits no-one wants to look at anyway. Guessing from your posts already in this thread, no-one wants to have kids with you at all, I can see why you're bitter about women who have babies to feed.
Breastfeeding is most certainly obscene to civilized people, and Facebook is striking a small victory for a more polite society in which people don't shove the more private aspects of their lives and bodies in everyone's face. Granted, Facebook in many ways is designed to do just that, but at least they have the sense to remove pure obscenity. If certain people want to show off, they can find a location with a more suitable TOS and/or user agreement. Now if only someone would do something about the boors who nurse in public or enjoy loudly describing their dramatic sex lives into their cellphones...

It may not be obscene, but nobody wants to see it! Seriously folks, Go home and feed your brat! Nobody really wants your saggy titties or your screaming stinking brat around anyway! GTFO!
it is DISGUSTING since no one wants to look at your wifes tits. get a bottle and put the tit milk in there idiot. no toilet required and your infant can eat while not exposing the rest of us to YOUR WIFES SAGGY TITS.
And, clearly, breasts are the only possible source of food for infants.
Everything is subjective.
Keep a bottle of milk with you. There are breast pumps for just such a reason.
Not a Twitter sockpuppet... but I wish I was.
Thats fine then don't get upset when I whip out my phone take a few boob pics and stare a little. I mean how often do I get to see real breasts in something other than a photo....I mean I read /. don't I? Besides I can always use the pics later. Maybe I can get then in a torrent up on Pirate Bay for everyone to enjoy.
How this scored a "3; Insightful" baffles me. Morals? You think it immoral to see a breast? What about male breasts exposed at beaches, or in general public, advertising, etc?
How is that ANY different. I'm going to wager that while you're throwing this word "moral" around, you do so under the hidden agenda of "Christian Morals".
This has nothing to do with special treatment, and the fact you call it out as such obviously shows that you have a lot of deep-seated issues you need to work out.
We're fuckin' human beings. We weren't born with clothes on. Stop the fuckin' insanity.
Don't like it? Fuckin' look the other god damn way you idiot. Seriously. Grow up.
hell yes. niggers should be with the rest of the trash - black bags on the kerbside.
I am a woman
Who the fuck cares? Are you a MOTHER? No? Shut your fucking mouth, bitch.
Wow, I didnt know that 'society' consisted of only US states ;) pity the rest of the world...
Actually, not disagreeing with you, but that was a PARTICULARLY stupid thing to say.
I take a shit every day and it is perfectly normal activity, as normal as breathing and eating. It is also a loving act because seriously, who wouldn't be proud of a good solid bowel movement? I know I am. Some people might think it's obscene but let's face the fact: everybody poops!
It may be a loving act and it may be as normal as breathing, but that means nothing when you're asking if it is socially acceptable to display in public. Sorry to poop on your parade.
