    Maybe facebook shouldn't waste so much time on a non-existent problem, and should focus more on their customer service department. As it turns out, it is nearly impossible to get a hold of a real person for a real problem on facebook. They do not reply to e-mails and do not have a customer service phone number at which you can reach them. I didn't even waste my time reading about these "real people" employed by facebook, because I'm convinced "real people" don't even work there.

    How about if the 'nipple patrol " would start taking a look at the links that are provided to their underage members. My 16 year old son can get all the porn he wants. All he has to do is sign onto Facebook and use the links provided to him. By accessing the proxy servers that Facebook users provide him he can view all the lesbian and straight porn that he has the time to download. This article is public relations BS.

    why do you have to take a picture of yourself breastfeeding and put it on facebook/myspace/public display? Seriously? I agree breastfeeding is a wonderful thing but do you honestly need pictures? I mean, do you have pictures of the conception too that you want to post? The birth?

    what i dont get is they can show a male soaping up in the shower but they cant show a girl blowing out her hit of weed?
    what is that a homosexual site? sure seems like it to me.

    I'm glad someone is doing this job. I'm glad I don't have to do it. I'm sure they have to see all linds of rubbish. As for the 'breastfeeders'. I'm all for it. We know it's best for mother and baby. However we don't need to see it displayed for the world to see. I know the pervy guys think the shows all for them. Yuk.

    As for the silly little girls that display themselves on sites like these. I think they are so naiive as to who is looking. The recentl craaigs list incident shows only too well who's 'out ther'...

        they arent censoring free speech. If you use thier site then yo gave them the right to censor what you display. Its there equipment and programming so they can do as they please. If you dont like it dont use thier site. If you dont want to be censored then get your own server and start your own site!

      If you are a member on FaceBook, you agreed to the terms. If you don't like it, then don't use it! I personally appreciate what the staff at FB are doing, because there are all ages of users on here now. Keepin' it clean, yep!!

    why can they show mens nipples and not womans? is it because their too ugly or is it one of those american warped religious reasons?

    As much as I understand the issue, but what's wrong with nudity, if n e thing if a person is over the age of 18, they should post whatever they please, I understand other's get offend it, but why seclud those who are at right to express how they feel? 1st amendment does play a role, but again, maybe those over the age of 18 and older should have the right to post what they want when they want. Not saying that I do, but you should be looking for those who prey off the younger crowd. I have young ppl in my friends list and that's only cause they are close friends and or family. I say if the nudity of two ppl are more than what needs to be shown, or graphic as being abused or more than forceful then delete. If someone is going to have nudity than they should have an option to where they can upload but have an option to allow certian ages to view. I agree with MKBaybee as well.

    Breastfeeding is completely natural and the most healthy for the baby. I do not believe that is the point. The point could be age-appropriateness to view such things. Flashing your goods for all the world to see will attract perverts/predators that are interested in you for all the wrong reasons; bounds of reason and common sense should prevail in wise decision making on a daily basis. Good decisions protect you and your family. Bad/careless decisions can draw unwanted attention that none of us need. The concern is not the nudity in and of itself...what is of concern is some of the shady people that it seems to attract.

    I'm confused, if the kid is nursing the nipple is not showing. It's certainly more wholesome than some girl with her hands over her bare boobs

    I don't think facebook should be held responsible for any obscene pictures that are being posted there on a daily basis, whether it is a mother breastfeeding a child or a woman covering her nipples with her hands. In fact I don't even think we need a " porn police", everyone has their own standards of what is good and what is not and if we don't like it then why don't we just go and look at something else. What were you doing looking at it in the first place anyways? I think that if your are capable of going on facebook then you are fully capable of closing what you see on your own. And as for kids looking at those picture,educate them well; there isn't much you can do about it. If it's not facebook then it'll be some other site they will be watching porn on or what not. Why complain about it and report abuse when they are abusing no one else but themselves; They've clearly made a choice of publicly displaying parts that some may consider inappropriate and they have all rights to it whether we like or not. It is not as if they were forcing you to look at it, especially when it comes to facebook you yourself decide which profiles to look at or who to add. All I can say is if you do not have self-control, then do not expect to control what others do.

    I am experiencing prblems with facebook for a year now. I have had to have my WINDOWS re-installed 3 times during that time. Sue to the fact that my PC became infected beyond repair from FACEBOOK. Interestingly enough I had dozens of people warn me about FACEBOOK and all the crap that people pick up while using it. I wouldn't listen no matter who warned me. I have to tell you I learned my lesson and had extended my appologies to everyone who warned me. Took me a year to realise that everyone who warned about FACEBOOK was right. At this point I have to say, I have not been wondering all over all kinds of sites that would have, or could have harmed my PC. I use my PC mainly to type my papers for college, and e-mail my friends. I am a PC user for over a decade and never experienced any problems until I decided to become the member of FACEBOOK.

    Can someone tell me why is my PC infected every time I go to facebook? After re-doing my windows again... months later I once again went back to facebook. Not even 3 days passed and my PC AGAIN became badly infected. I have myspace for years, and have never experienced such problems. Before you say something to the contrary, I have to inform you I didn't not log into myspace and facebook during those same months. Due to the fact that I was most eager to prove to many of my friends how wrong they are warning people about the dangers of facebook.

    unhappy with facebook to this day:(
