Facebook has reportedly deleted many profile pictures their moderators deem to be obscene. The problem isn’t the nude, or violent pictures you’d expect them to keep off the site, it’s the harmless photos of mothers breastfeeding their babies which have the delete keys smoking at Facebook.
The group protesting the censorship is here. (You’ll have to register at Facebook to open the group.)

You know, I’ve seen several thousand shots of people’s feet on Facebook. It strikes me that there are probably as many foot fetishists out there who find those pictures erotic as there are people for whom there’s something obscene about a nursing mother.
Feet Off Facebook!

My brother started the second largest chapter of Footbook on Facebook, so I don’t think that should happen :-D

Footbook? It sounds anti-establishment or contrary, somehow ;-)
