Facebook

Is anyone here a member of facebook?

I have been a member for almost 6 months, and I have finally been banned.

Why? Because I have posted pictures of myself breastfeeding my baby. According to facebook's definition, breastfeeding photos are classified as "obscene" and therefore need to be deleted. I got a warning, and now my account has been disabled. Here is a copy of my correspondence with facebook:

I received this email from facebook today. I am very confused as to which services I have been misusing. On the contrary, I feel that as a contributing member of facebook, I have valuable services to offer, such as a support group for children with cystic fibrosis, an online support group for new mothers having trouble breastfeeding their babies, as well as particiaption in various charities and causes.

I am very hurt that a moderator would accuse me of misusing facebook services, and I would appreciate a reply with a description of how I am doing so.

Sincerely,

Karen S.

And this is the email they sent me:

The Facebook Team

Never mind that 6,100 members have joined the petition group and posted breastfeeding pictures. Never mind the fact that facebook allows pictures of which man has the biggest c**k, and whose t*ts are bigger...there are hundreds of pornographic pictures, involving naked male genetalia, women spreading their legs, women inserting things into themselves, and photos of the actual act of sex, circulating on facebook.

Why are breastfeeding pictures in the same category as those forementioned? THAT is the point of the protest group. And I see we still haven't gotten our point across.

Please join the petition group!

They are taking a piss, sorry for my language...

But I keep getting pop ups saying my computer has traces of adult websites and sensitive contens- and all I do is view bf forums and breastfeeding realted info...

I don't heve facebook.

It is all crazy. It is ok to put naked girl on page 3 of newspaper, but to share breastfeeding pictures is wrong...
