Facebook have removed pictures off their site by a famous photographer showing tribal women breastfeeding in africa.

I think its totally ridiculous.

WTF?  What about those photos is unsuitable? A mother BF her young child and another being carried on his topless mothers back?

I suppose it would be more suitable if the women in question were white, had no children around them but long blonde hair and massive lips, sitting and standing in suggestive poses..... grrrrrrr FB!!

Classic example of how NOT to increase the perception of BF as a 'normal' thing to do ........

i think its wrong that they are more worried about breastfeeding photos then kids being on facebook!

if parents have a problem with their children seeing these photos then they should be supervisoring their computer time

Exactly my though _H_. Children shouldn't even be on facebook!! FB obviously can't tell the difference between natural uses of breasts vs. porn! In many cultures/tribes breasts aren't even considered sexual.

facebook has a policy on breasts in general, they are ok as long as the areola isn't showing from my understanding so the pictures you see with boobs almost falling out of tops is fine because they aren't going against the rules.

I've heard of heaps of photos being taken off facebook because of this. I guess you don't hear of the ones that are provocative/suggestive/eroticism what have you because people expect them to be taken off

That is soooo wrong!! The documentary babies was rated PG purely because of the breastfeeding!

So basically facebook allows photos of babies diddles and fannies (yes I have seen people who are dumb enough to post these kinds of photos) yet breastfeeding photos are a huge no no?
