"Breastfeeding in public should be criminalized and banned entirely"

Facebook are thus far refusing to take down this hateful and incredibly hurtful page. Please go to the page (don't scroll down - it's disgusting) and report immediately. When you get the notification from FB that "We reviewed the page you reported for containing hate speech or symbols and found it doesn't violate our Community Standards.", you can leave feedback, and tell them that they are very clearly wrong. Thanks!

disgusting.Angry and utter shite

never been on Facebook - yet another reason to not feel I'm missing out.

If bf in public got banned it would last exactly as long as the patience of people who'd have to listen to screaming babies non-stop.

just nonsense

deepinthewoods · 03/05/2014 17:03

It's still there- I can't find the report button.

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 03/05/2014 17:05

Unfortunately it's very much still there and FB are refusing to remove the IW image too :(

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 03/05/2014 17:11

On my app, under the covers photo there is a choice of like, share, message, more ... click more and you get a report option. Don't hold your breath though :(

Thanks- I have reported.

Feeling brave, direct link to the petition

Perhaps complaining to the companies who advertise on Facebook will have more effect. This tactic appears to have "focused the minds" of people at Facebook regarding other similar issues.

Facebook messaged back to say they are not banning it!!!

missknows · 03/05/2014 19:26

Has anyone posted it anywhere with more traffic (chat/AIBU)?

gamerchick · 03/05/2014 19:45

I just went back for another look.. it's clearly a pisstaking jokey page.. she (and i'm assuming one of them is a she since the photo up of boobs is a selfie) has even said so far down that people need to stop taking the page seriously.

It's just not worth getting all heated up about it.

FunnyFoot · 03/05/2014 22:50

Don't get me wrong I have a sense of humour (forces brat so it is pretty dark) but this is not funny. This is wrong and needs to be stopped.

BankWadger · 03/05/2014 23:50

Nothing funny about likening breast feeding to rape.

FunnyFoot · 03/05/2014 23:53

Agree.

StackALee · 03/05/2014 23:57

I think it's worth mentioning that someone on Facebook has complaind about this page specifically because their photo was used on the page in the mouth rape bit. Maybe RonaldMcDonald thinks that is ok too?

FunnyFoot · 04/05/2014 00:02

Ronald thinks that if some one has a different point of view or opinion you should let it be and not in any way attempt to change it. Because.....that is there right!

Ronald also thinks that any women who strongly fights/has a voice against such misogynistic twiddle should 'calm down' and not get their 'panties in a bunch' Hmm Pleasant isn't it?

How do you report a group if your using a iPad?

I can't find an option to

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 05/05/2014 13:22

No idea Socks I don't have an i pad but on Android, just under the cover photo are links to like, share message and more, if you click more it gives you a report option.

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 07/05/2014 10:38

Hey, I think it's been taken down, I can't search/find or follow a link to it! Anyone else?

BoobyandtheBeads · 08/05/2014 14:31

I know I don't post on here usually but felt I had to let you know that this vile and disgusting page has now been removed from Facebook. They were using one of my photographs, from my recent media appearance about me breastfeeding my 5 year old, so I shared the petition on as many breastfeeding and parent related pages as I could and had hundreds of ladies reporting the posts and page to facebook. I even went as far as reporting the page to the police and another child abuse/explicit adult content reporting page too. I'm so glad that it's gone and I know I have put myself out there in the media but not for my photograph of myself and my daughter to be used in this way.

ZingWatermelon · 08/05/2014 15:01

Booby

well done for getting it taken down.Thanks

ExBrightonBell · 08/05/2014 17:48

Hey, well done Booby. I reported it also, plus reporting individual images. I'm glad it has been removed as just reporting the individual images made me feel sick to the stomach with the horrific nature of them. Glad it was worth doing.

AngusAndElspethsThistleWhistle · 08/05/2014 20:03

Well done!
