Kelli Roman, a San Diego resident posed her breast feeding feeding her daughter was removed by Face book. The site removed the breast feeding photos on a good sense so that pornographers don’t morph the images for pornographic issues and promotions. But the site is currently under fire for banning such images. In response around 10000 people have joined a group stating “Hey Facebook breast feeding is not obscene”. The company claims that showing sexual organs and breast are violations from the terms of use of their site. The site announced that for those who had posted their photos that their account wont be re-instated under any condition.
