The social-media network Facebook and breastfeeding activists are engaged in
a battle over the posting of photographs that show mothers feeding their
babies.

Vancouver mom and breastfeeding advocate Emma Kwasnica has had more than 20
photos of her breastfeeding her daughters removed from the site since 2008,
when she joined the network.

Dacdo says Facebook is standing firm. "It's a tough battle for her
(Kwasnica), but with 18 million active Canadian users Facebook is trying to
find that balance with respecting everyone's values."

Dacdo said Facebook is "largely self-regulating" so it's up to users to
determine if a particular image contravenes Facebook's no-nudity policy.

She said Facebook does not have a specific policy regarding breastfeeding
images but "given that Facebook's policy is no nudity it would be best not
to post (breastfeeding images)," she said.
