Breastfeeding Photo Removal

(This was a note on my Facebook page that I decided to put here as well)

So, my Breastfeeding week was started on Facebook with this message.

"You uploaded a photo that violates our Terms of Use, and this photo has been removed. Facebook does not allow photos that attack an individual or group, or that contain nudity, drug use, violence, or other violations of the Terms of Use. These policies are designed to ensure Facebook remains a safe, secure and trusted environment for all users, including the many children who use the site."

They removed the photo of the baby eating on the train. OMG. It is not like I was showing any nipples or anything. Come on, it the photo did not contain any nudity, drug use, or violence. There was no copyright on it either. So, Facebook, what's up with this?

Not sure what bothers me more, that facebook removed the photo or one of my friends reported that the photo was offensive.

Come on people, tell me what is offensive about this photo? Am I too ugly?

So, I tried to report another photograph...just to see exactly how easy it is to do. If you click on "nudity and pornography" you get this window:
This photo does not show any nipple so I am not sure how it violates the terms.

Facebook may remove photos for nudity or pornography if:
* they depict genitalia, bare butts, female nipple
* they contain black-barred or pixelated images of otherwise violating nudity
* they depict sex toys
Facebook will not remove a photo for nudity or pornography use if:
* the photo is simply unflattering
* the individual pictured does not like the way it looks
* the photo does not violate our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities

Do you see any nipple in my profile photograph? I don't.
