keeps weirdo's away from people

What is OBSCENE is Face-books about face move on nature,
TWO faced if you get my meaning who the heck are they to deem motherhood obscene.

No, I don't think it was a bad mistake. It keeps weirdos and perverts away.

Edit: what i do think was a bad mistake was creating Facebook in the first place. It's caused nothing but problems since it's existed, and we only hear bad things about it in the news, never anything good.

[Mmmmm]

Good. Iy does keep them away.
There is no ethics or morals these days.

There is nothing wrong with breasts or with breastfeeding. My wife and daughters all fed their babies themselves, when necessary in public. This never seemed to cause offence, nor were they pestered by sex-starved idiots trying to get a free peep.

Which uptight clown thought up this ban?

[Zorak]

Its their website. They should be allowed to ban whatever they please from it. If you build a webpage on Facebook it still belongs to them, they can delete it for whatever reason they like.

That's ridiculous. You can only see pictures that people post on Facebook if you have them added as a friend. It's not like myspace where you have the option to make yourself private to strangers or not: You ARE private unless there's an add-and-accept process.
So, only friends and family will see the breastfeeding pictures.

There is nothing lewd or obscene about breastfeeding.

This is so silly.. the article even says.. "But the website defended the move, saying it takes no action over most breastfeeding photos because they follow its terms of use. However, others - where too much of a mother's breast are exposed - are removed to ensure the site remains safe and secure for all users, including children, a spokesman confirmed"

What the heck... so in my opinion Facebook is right on... they aren't making a judgement on breastfeeding... they are looking at specific pictures and if they don't meet thier guidelines, they are removed. Good for facebook! If the picture is borderline (because of showing nipple) then it should be removed. Really most people probably don't want to see their breast feeding friends nipples anyway. It may be our prudish American culture but whatever.. it's their website and they have rules of what they deem appropriate and what they don't. Many of my friends on facebook breastfeed and NONE of them has ever posted a picture of themselves breastfeeding.. why would they?!

weirdos at bay?
But what hope is there for common sense...
before page 3, boobs were always used for feeding babies, that's why women have them!
Only in the UK, huh?
We just can't get with what's perfectly natural without making a big deal out of it
