Facebook thinks breastfeeding is obscene
Facebook has joined Myspace in banning pictures of babies nursing. Nudity violates their terms of service so they’ve been pulling all pictures of breastfeeding where the breast is exposed.
I think this is pretty much ridiculous. I only joined Facebook a few weeks ago and haven’t really networked yet, but based on my experience on other social networking sites you’ll see more titty on some 16-year-old’s bikini shot than on a picture of a mother feeding her baby. I’ve seen profile pictures of half naked, underage girls taking bong hits and drinking beers which really makes one wonder about “terms of service.” My husband’s little cousin’s best friend actually has a video clip of people doing it on her Myspace page. Doing it!! How is breastfeeding obscene when I’m confronted with humping coupled with terrible top 40 rap songs? How is feeding a child obscene when I’m accosted by girls asses hanging out of their skanky little shorts while they’re open mouth kissing each other?
Getting back to Facebook, some women are complaining that they’ve pulled pictures where no breast is visible, which calls their motives into question. Other people whose pictures have been pulled have been banned from the site altogether and told they cannot rejoin.
Laws vary state to state, but companies cannot discriminate against breastfeeding mothers. This smacks of discrimination. Facebook may soon find themselves in trouble.
