I have a couple of photos of me breastfeeding my ds on my facebook page, I have other photos not including breastfeeding and it's been about 2 or 3 breastfeeding photos in 14 months so by no means regularly, the images don't show any nipple but it's clear ds is breastfeeding.

I was sent a notification from Facebook informing me that 2 of my photos had been reported or pornographic content or nudity.

They reviewed the images and decided they were not pornographic or containing nudity so they were not removed.

The only people who can see my images are friends, I still have the same amount of friends that I've had for ages so no one has unfriended me.

Aibu to think that if someone's photos offend you it is better to just unfriend them or hide their updates? At the very least it's a good idea to unfriend them after you have reported their photos.

I feel like making one of the "offensive" images my profile photo so whoever felt the need to report it realises their concerns were unfounded.Blush

P.s. Sorry I know it's a Facebook aibu

As a photo there's nothing wrong with taking one BF.

The only thing about FB is that any photo can be copied and shared by your friends (or anyone if your security settings aren't on).

I have dysfunctional members of my family who I now don't have contact with and I can imagine if FB had of been around when I was BF, they would use images to try to get at either myself or my now Teen/Adult children.

As well as other general bits of info. People FB can be hacked, so it may not only be your friends that have access to your profile.

I do think that people share way to much on FB without any thought of the possible consequences.

I see this in families that are going through crisis's if different sorts.

I would rather see a BF picture than the pics by brother links to of the classily named FB page "rack of the day". Nice.

Check your album is set to "friends only" incase it was public and ignore. I bet the photo was beautiful and natural.

Yanbu about the photo, I really don't get how some of the shit on Facebook seems not to be a problem for them, but breast feeding is see as 'pornographic' or whatever. If your photos are set to 'friends only' then only your friends will have seen them (I can't believe that it has been this way way for so long, and people still think that other people can see photos if one of your friends likes or comments - not true!)

Having said all that, was the photo of something else with you happening to be breast feeding in it, or was it an actual photo of you sitting there breast feeding? Because the latter I would find odd, in the same way that I would find a picture of solely a baby being bottle fed odd. It's a bit of a non event to post a picture of on Facebook, akin to people posting pictures of their dinner etc on there.

Agree with Mintyy.

I'd be tempted to post a status along the lines of 'would the person who reported my photos please remove themselves from my friends list as you are surplus to requirements. Thanks'

Catsmamma · 16/02/2014 20:48

i'd post a whole series, just like Fairylea suggests...lots of "carry on" style photos of every day things. And do the ranty status. :D

I put up a bit of a fingerpointing status when I found my self added to an Anti Wind Turbine group....the only mutual friend (acquaintance) in the group had the nerve to deny it, but hey...how likely is it really that they found my tightly locked down profile and added me for shits and giggles??

I posted a status with a screen shot of the offending image and the response from Facebook. Lots of my friends commented in support, I was really overwhelmed by the comments, it was such a cross section of people. One of my friends mentioned Facebook have bots who go through flagging up potentially offensive images so it could have been that. It was 2 images which makes me think it was probably a bot as whoever it was would have had to search through my photos to find them ( rather than it just popping up on their newsfeed because a mutual friend had commented on the photo).

It seems my security isn't as tight as I assumed so that has now been remedied.

Thats for the advice and support :)
