Picture published on social network site like facebook and myspace where mother breastfeeding her child is restricted. The arguments reveal how the sites’ community policing techniques sometimes struggle to keep up with the successful number and multiplicity of their members.
When facebook started as a site, it was only for the collage kids. But at present facebook is now home for over 140 millions of people around the world. Some of the new user like Kelli Roman, posted a photo of herself nursing one of her two children. However, one day she logged on and finds the picture is missing. When she asked facebook for an explanation, she received an e-mail saying,
“Facebook bars people from uploading anything “obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit” — a policy that translates into a ban on pictures depicting certain amounts of exposed flesh.”
Nevertheless, Roman replied by launching a facebook group called “Hey, Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!”. Roman lives in Fallbrook, Calif said in an interview that “There is nothing about bottle-feeding a child that has to be discreet,” She also added “With breast-feeding, it should be the exact same way.”
Currently this group includes 129,062 members and one of them is Stephanie Muir. She does a volunteer work associated with public health and breast-feeding, said the issue is important to her. She said “I think it’s time we all get over this notion that women’s breasts are dangerous and harmful for children to see,”
However, she also organized a Facebook protest last weekend against the site’s policies, which she believes are without rhyme or reason enforced and discriminate against women.
Nevertheless, Heather Farley and other 10 other women led a real-world nurse-in to complement the online event. They showed up breast-feeding their babies outside the front door at Facebook’s headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif.
When all these protest and rush is going on Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt said “the company’s guidelines regarding exposed flesh allow most breast-feeding photos. However, Facebook draws the line at a visible nipple or areola,” and he also added that “We decided nudity was something we didn’t want on the site. It doesn’t matter the context. We would agree that there are absolutely many contexts for nudity where it is not obscene,”
