Facebook Won’t Budge on Breastfeeding Photos

Facebook is standing firm on a policy that has led to the removal of some photos posted by women that show breastfeeding.The deletions have spurred Facebook members to stage protests both online and offline. Dozens of supporters gathered last Saturday at Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif., while online, more than 11,000 members participated in a virtual “nurse-in,” or changed their profile photos to images depicting women breastfeeding.

Web-savvy mums who breastfeed are irate that social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace restrict photos of nursing babies.Facebook began as a site just for tertiary students, but is now an online home for 140 million people worldwide.
