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. And the breastfeeding fuss is an indicator of the struggle to keep community policing techniques in tune with the booming number and diversity of members. Among the new faces of Facebook are women like Kelli Roman, 23, who last year posted a photo of herself nursing one of her two children. One day, the Californian logged on to find the photo missing. When she pressed Facebook for an explanation, she got form emails in return. Facebook bars people from uploading anything "obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit" - a policy that translates into a ban on pictures depicting an extent of exposed flesh. Ms Roman responded by starting a Facebook group called "Hey, Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!" Today the group - part petition, part message board, part photo-sharing hub - has more than 97,600 members. One of them, Stephanie Muir of Ottawa, was new to Facebook when she stumbled on the group last year. The mother of five does volunteer work related to public health and breastfeeding and says the issue is important to her. "I think it's time we all get over this notion that women's breasts are dangerous and harmful for children to see," she said. So she organised a Facebook protest last weekend against the site's policies, which she believes are arbitrarily enforced and discriminate against women. Ms Muir said more than 11,000 people joined in the group's "virtual nurse-in" by swapping their regular profile pictures on Facebook with ones depicting breastfeeding. At Facebook's headquarters in Palo Alto, California, 23-year-old mum Heather Farley, visiting from her home in Provo, Utah, led a real-world nurse-in to complement the online event. About 10 women showed up to breastfeed their babies outside the front door, drawing attention from media if not Facebook workers, who were scarce two days after Christmas. A member for almost four years, Ms Farley has nearly 400 friends on Facebook. She uses it more than email to stay in touch with far-flung high school and college friends. She especially likes to check out pictures of their babies and share photos of hers. But with a 9-month-old, "it's almost hard to get a picture of me not nursing". Recently she changed her profile photo to one that showed her breastfeeding. Someone probably objected, because Facebook deleted it. It, like MySpace, generally relies on members to point out rule-breaking. Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt said the company's guidelines regarding exposed flesh allow most breast-feeding photos. But the site draws the line at a visible nipple or areola - and, he said, the gluteal cleft. Mr Schnitt said the policies were instituted years ago, when the site was much smaller, but they reflect common practices on mainstream websites. John Palfrey, a Harvard Law School professor who specialises in internet issues, called Facebook a victim of its own success. "As we wrap more and more of our lives into a single environment on the web, the feeling that civil liberties ought to be protected there continues to grow." But it's really just that - a feeling. Online hangouts might simulate a public place, but they're still private websites where the company is king. MySpace has also sparked online protests over deleted photos of breastfeeding mothers. But LiveJournal, a popular blogging network, made an exception for nursing in its no-nudity policy. |
