Facebook Is Very Confused About Breasts
Facebook has caved on a decision to ban photos posted by a woman who had surgery for breast cancer, according to reports in Irish newspaper The Examiner. The 45-year old British woman posted pics of her mastectomy scars to her Facebook profile to educate other women, then found Facebook had removed them based on the site’s policy of removing “sexual content”.
