Too Hot For Facebook?

Too Hot For Facebook?

We all know that when it comes to uploading pictures on to Facebook, you gotta be EXTRA careful cos anyone now, can report the pictures as "inappropriate" and you will soon find yourself with a warning and a possible profile suspension.

But, when are pictures too hot for Facebook? Well, they say that any picture that: contains nudity, or any kind of graphic or sexually suggestive content, are not permitted on Facebook. Well, how about a kiss? A kiss between 2 men? Is this sexually suggestive? Well, apparently it is.

US writer Niall O’Conghaile used an image of a gay kiss from the soap "EastEnders" to accompany his blog about the "gay-kiss-in" last Friday in support of the gay couple that got kicked out of The John Snow pub. Then, the editor of the Dangerous Minds blog, Richard Metzger, where the news story was published, posted the story on Facebook. He soon received a warning from site administrators about the image. Stating that it was removed because it was graphic and/or sexually suggestive.

Richard Metzger has now written Facebook to ask why the image was removed but so far no word from Facebook. I will be keeping a close eye on this story cos the same thing happened to me and I asked for the "Facebook Admin team" to give me a reason or at least the picture I had uploaded that was considered inappropriate but they never got back to me!

So, do you think the picture was offensive or sexually suggestive? Should Facebook relax or are they just trying to keep the site as "clean" as possible? You decide!

 

UPDATE!

Facebook has now said SORRY and released this statement: "The photo in question does not violate our Statement of Rights & Responsibilities and was removed in error. We apologise for the inconvenience."

Hundreds posted the picture as their profile pic to complain about the removal and it seems as though Facebook took action! Good on them!

Personally i don't think the picture is offensive or sexually suggestive, i see the other side of some pictures and all i see here is basically in a word 'ART', so facebook need to take a reality check and realise that the world is actually changing and that there will be a lot more pictures/scenes like this one on national tv and no matter how ever much they want it to, it will not go away. It's here to stay and young kids and homaphobic people will see it and probably wont like it but tough its a way of life, so get used to it.

I'm sorry but really, who gives a shit!? Facebook have removed pictures with no sexual inuendo at all. I don't think a person actually deletes the image, I think if so many people report it, it gets automatically deleted and an email sent out. I hate Gays who constantly go on about rights and how badly they are treated, we've came a long way in the past 10 years so stop pissing complaining!
Rant over haha!

Dear Sam,

It was once that they came to my friend's door and beat him and I said nothing. Next, they came to enemy's door and they beat him and I said nothing. Then,...they came to my door and I cried out. There was no one there to hear me. They beat me.
You set on your high horse and complain about someone complaining. I feel that where ever there is someone being beaten, regardless if it is through words or with stick,.. GOD PRAISE THOSE THAT CRY OUT!!! It gives us a sense of how far we are from help and how far "WE HAVE REALLY COME!!!!"
