I recently joined a group on Facebook called “If breastfeeding offends you, put a blanket over YOUR head!” It currently has just over 129,000 fans. Facebook has been deleting photos of breastfeeding mums and even deleting their accounts with no warning. Their reasoning is the photos are obscene and violate their terms of use. Now, I understand that Facebook is a privately owned company and that when you sign up, you agree to the terms of use. However, what I cannot understand is how Facebook allows this:....

with photos ranging from this:

Yet, breastfeeding mums are having their photos of a natural process deleted. Facebook has even been going as far as to completely delete their pages with no warning. Photos like this:


and


are said to be obscene?!? The definition of obscene is as follows according to Dictionary.com:
ob⋅scene

 

1.....


offensive to morality or decency; indecent; depraved: obscene language. ....

2.....


causing uncontrolled sexual desire.....

3.....


abominable; disgusting; repulsive.....

The last time I checked, breastfeeding is not offensive to morality or decency. It does not cause uncontrolled sexual desire other than in people with severe psychological problems that shouldn’t be allowed on Facebook for “our” safety. And lastly, breastfeeding is anything but abominable, disgusting or repulsive. How is feeding your children the way nature intended any of the above? It’s not! Natural is defined many different ways, but the best definition I found for this use on Dictionary.com is: in conformity with the ordinary course of nature; not unusual or exceptional.....
Therefore, Facebook is discriminating against breastfeeding mothers and it MUST stop! I urge you to support “If breastfeeding offends you, put a blanket over YOUR head!” by joining their group and encouraging others to as well by clicking http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=12067&uid=444758635156#!/pages/If-breastfeeding-offends-you-put-a-blanket-over-YOUR-head/444758635156?v=wall.

To whom it may concern,
I would like to let you know about discrimination that is taking place on the massive social networking site Facebook. There has been a lot of bad publicity in the past over Facebook deleting even the most modest pictures of babies breastfeeding, yet they still continue this practice. Despite breastfeeding being perfectly natural and despite the fact that it is illegal in most places to ask a nursing mother to stop or cover up, Facebook sends warnings and even closes accounts of mothers who post nursing pictures. Recently a Facebook group called "If breastfeeding offends you, put a blanket over YOUR head!" (link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/If-breastfeeding-offends-you-put-a-blanket-over-YOUR-head/444758635156?v=feed&story_fbid=312428379428#!/pages/If-breastfeeding-offends-you-put-a-blanket-over-YOUR-head/444758635156?ref=mf ) which boasts over 129,000 members and is rapidly increasing in popularity has had countless hundreds of pictures removed from members and from the group's own founder. Thousands of mothers are outraged, this needs to be stopped! We hope to continue to give Facebook bad publicity until they realize that breastfeeding is NOT obscene! Any help from your news network would be greatly appreciated.
Until tomorrow… peace & love!
