A breast cancer charity criticises a non-sensical decision by Facebook not to run fundraising ads that show survivors scars and mastectomies.

Breast Cancer Australia says it is"deeply disappointed" after Facebook decided to ban images from its latest campaign which features topless survivors.

The Breast Cancer Network Australia said yesterday, Facebook rejected the images for breaching the platform's partial-nudity policy. "The opening days of the campaign are where we raise the most money for BCNA to ensure we can provide free resources to those people with breast cancer," BCNA's Kirsten Pilatti said.The platform has attracted criticism in the past for banning images of breastfeeding for breaching its nudity policy.

"For example, while we restrict some images of female breasts that include the nipple, we allow other images, including those depicting acts of protest, women actively engaged in breast-feeding, and photos of post-mastectomy scarring."

Ridiculous and stupid

What's the difference between that photo and a female in a small bikini?

So you can show porn,post a vid of a massacre, bullying,& let Russians walk all over it,but this is bad?

So will they also ban photos of bare chested men on nudity grounds?

I'm 100% for message they're trying to get across , but I agree with FB there is no need for nudity .

Yet facebook allow this..

Shared that post last night so it’s back up. Still there today.

But everyone knows female nudity is banned on FB. They shouldn't have bothered. You can actually make an ad about breast cancer without showing breasts. It was meant to attract attention through the nudity....so they violated Facebook's rules.

Human body vs litigious, prudent crap

Typical of Fuckbook. The sooner they die the better for humanity.

Talk about screwed up morality, Facebook will ban showing women’s breasts based on absurd nudity prudishness, but will quite happily allow gun organisations to threaten people w/gun violence or right wing crack pots to bully the parents of mass shooting victims.

What a crock of shit. This is a good cause.. not a nudity photo shoot like some of the guys have

Idiots

with all the stuff ups Facebook has made lately you cant blame them for playing safe.

we are not dealing with the catastrophe that is Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. they represent more than 90% of the worlds social media

Wow oh my god look at her cupcakes! Yet u can racially abuse, make homophobic comments, vilify On religious grounds but nudity! Or partial nudity in the name of awareness of breast cancer is a huge no no! Please!

The question would be, would they ban breast cancer campaign on grounds of nudity if it were men, or is it only women that this disease is for, you advertise that mammograms save the lives of women but you say you can't show the results of surgery that have saved their lives.

What's 'facebook'?

What a fucking joke Facebook allows someone to show a massacre shooting innocent people dead Facebook should be barred

Come on Facebook, WHat Is Wrong With This Add!

Ridiculous! Breasts are hidden but not so weapons of mass murder like assault rifles.

Facebook is gay. Lol

I shut down facecrack 7 year ago and life is beautiful .. there’s a blue sky that sometimes cries and you can actually speak to real people & Feel emotions !!!!!!

Fake news.

It’s bit like the indoctrination of climate change ( fake ) These poor people don’t realise that cancer is a massive money -making Industry . Cancer employs millions of people all over t world . And makes a zillion for pharma co ! My opinion only !

Good grief! There are men with bigger breasts than those displayed. Just another example of why anyone with a FB account needs urgent psychological help.

It’s like laughing & smiling & getting naked after getting over a car crash !’Hey look at me !’ I have been told this will help others. Well let’s hope these women , whom are so altruistic as to want to help othes, stop & give $5 to the homeless Mmm !

Thank god ! I don’t want to see these ladies naked thank you ! Apparently having cancer means dignity goes out the window . My mother died from cancer but her dignity didn’t ! Manipulated & exploited these poor people !🙄

I know!! breastcancer facebook

At least they now have far more publicity than they would have on facebook

Can’t stand facebook the sooner people stop using it the better.

Seriously? That decision has got to be reversed. Support this campaign.

i know what LaTrioli would say............

To be fair, Facebook is American so anyone considering using it is always going to be forced to consume their bizarre and toxic view of the world.

Seriously! But happy to live stream Christchurch terrorist attack.

Wait! Is that the pic that is in question Seriously!? What a stupid overreaction if I've ever seen one!!! I would be happy to repost that pic on my Facebook page. Rules for some...Not for others!! 😡

aargh

The puerile minds of America, no better than second graders.

....... this feels like the 'female nipple' tumblr situation

Didn't we all start life sucking on boobs? Jesus Christ people; if you've seen them before it's nothing new. If you haven't, you don't know what you're looking at!
