Which kind of photo is more troubling: lactating moms or partying teens?

No matter where you go...here or there...

There will always be someone who feels the need to complain about something.

Hey! Turn the channel for Pete's sake! So you saw an infant suckling its mother's breast...big deal! If it offended you...read above.

However, on the other side of that coin is this...

The site is run by someone...read the Terms of FaceBook and also take a look at the Conduct section...

It's their site...if they deem it inappropriate...so be it. You have no room to complain. Do you feel your rights have been violated? Freedom of speech sort of thing, huh? There are rules everywhere you go...abide by them. Quit trying to see how much you can get away with...

...and by all means...keep **** to yourself. Find a site that specializes in the content you want to see and post your photos there. Just don't push your wares on everybody else...

Know what I mean?

Basically, I think the "freedom of speech" rule doesn't apply within independent institutions. After all, there is a user agreement, and clicking "I agree" substantiates the contract, and thereafter enforcing rules defined within that contract cannot possibly be said to infringe any rights.

I think the idea with the agreements (the good ones anyway) is to take certain rights away from everybody in order to allow for everybody to be more likely to "enjoy" themselves. If there weren't any rules of this sort, all the controversial prejudice groups could post their images all over and claim the 5th when their taken down; and they would be right if they had not effectively "signed" the user agreement that laid ground rules.
