When Serena Tremblay responded to a call to share breastfeeding photos on The Leaky Boob Facebook wall, she didn’t think she was sharing anything extraordinary. From birth to the ICU to Facebook, one Leaky’s story of how support keeps on giving.
It’s starting to feel like we’re living with an abusive partner. Many of us that share breastfeeding photos are on edge now, there has been a rash of deletions and more coming out and saying they would share breastfeeding photos but they are afraid of getting pulled.
Facebook has a responsibility to it’s customers to clearly communicate that they are pro-women by creating a new way to moderate materials flagged as obscene. Facebook is smart enough to develop a system that would allow them to remove the truly obscene materials while those related to breast health including breastfeeding and breast cancer are able to remain including an option to apply for exempt status for all groups related to breast health. After 4 years of this as an ongoing problem it is time NOW for Facebook to change.
