Facebook users gripe after breastfeeding pics removed

***************************EXCERPT**********************

According to a San Jose Mercury News report, a small group of protestors congregated in front of Facebook's Palo Alto headquarters last Saturday, singing songs, nursing babies, and generally making a ruckus about the company rule that forbids fully-exposed breasts on the site.

One of the protest organizers, Heather Farley, says two nursing photos were removed from her Facebook page, and that the site warned her that her account would be closed if its censors felt it necessary to remove one more photo, according to the Mercury News story.

A Facebook spokesman says the social net has no problem with nursing pics, provided they don't violate site policy that prohibits visible nipples or areola. In addition, Facebook doesn't actively seek out breastfeeding shots, but rather only removes images after users complain.
