Looks like Facebook is still fighting against the breastfeeding masses, who maintain that those posting images of the act should not be banned. One woman, April, has now written an open letter to the company, and points out that there are plenty of boobs on the site that they're not threatening to ban—you know, the non-lactating ones attached to the likes of Megan Fox. Her public scrutiny comes after a recent threat from the company; she explains, "I finally tandem nursed my babies successfully for the first time. Facebook told me this picture was offensive. And warned me that they will delete my account if I continue to break the rules." Surely this can all be solved over a glass of Riesling and some breastmilk cheese.
