[ID] 34 [Interest Areas] Breastfeeding Coalition Representative Concerned Citizen [Comment] A battle for breastfeeding is currently being fought and has been active since June of 2007. This is due to the current policy of the deletion of photos that depict breastfeeding, on the social networking site, facebook. (Many of the photos can be viewed at: http://www.tera.ca/photos6.html) We live in a 'social networking world' these days. Many parents and future parents use these sites to share their lives with friends and families. A mother who has a right to breastfeed her child in public should also be given the right to display a photo of breastfeeding online. In deleting such photos facebook is sending the message to others that breastfeeding is wrong and should be hidden or even not practiced at all. This is not a message that ever should be sent. Deleting theses normal depictions of child feeding is equal to advertising breastmilk substitutes, since photos of feeding a child artificially are accepted on the facebook site. [Topic]
