I think it’s great that you support breastfeeding! I lead a local breastfeeding support group even though my kids are older, but I joined the organization when I was still nursing my youngest and became so passionate about it.

Wow. I’m so wrapped up in my own FB bubble, I had absolutely no idea about FaceBook allowing hate/bully groups; the pro-anorexia groups or (as I learned upon further research tonight) failure to act on information from the attorney general about sexual predators on the site. Thanks for making more people aware of this. I’ll be sure to pass it on.

Cory I actually would stand in the center of a busy intersection and breast feed.

And let’s not forget you have to friend me on facebook in order to see it.

i personally just dont want to see pictures of babies sucking on breasts on facebook. theres a place for everything, even on the internet. just as u wouldnt stand in the center of a busy intersection breast feeding, why do it in the middle of a busy social network?

The female body is beautiful, and I do not see any aggression to any person of moral view so beautiful as a gesture to breastfeed, I think that a decision ditatória, the Internet should be free for the good things, and shall prohibit the bad things.

Facebook has also removed clergy titles from anyone who has say, “Rabbi” or “Reverend” in their name, while allowing teenagers and chauvinists to keep absurd & clearly untrue nicknames (think “Johnny ‘Dickweed’ Doe” and “Joe ‘Ladykilla’ Schmo). So… yeah, Facebook’s priorities are a little mixed up, across the board.

@Annie WTF? That’s stupid. Liars. They seriously need to get their head in the game.

@MrsSoup That is what they said at various points, but there were plenty of pictures that didn’t show any nipple at all that were removed. I included a few of them in my post here:

From what I understand, the issues they had were with pictures that showed the nipple, not necessarily breastfeeding in general. But they handled it so poorly. Facebook really needs to hire a new Public Relations team…..
