The group ---- titled, "Hey, Facebook, breast-feeding is not obscene!" ---- has attracted international attention, thrusting Roman, a shy stay-at-home mom, onto the front lines of a public debate over modesty and women's rights, according to a published report.
Facebook has been deleting photos that show too much skin ever since it started, in keeping with the company's terms and conditions regarding modesty. But the policy has ruffled feathers when applied to images of nursing mothers, the North County Times reported.
Outraged by the removal of a photo that showed Roman breast-feeding Ivy, 22 months, in summer 2007, she hooked up with other moms whose breast-feeding photos had been flagged, and began the group that today boasts more than 150,000 members, the paper reported.
