Well, it would do, if Facebook didn\u2019t keep deleting it &mdash; as they did the previous weekend.<\/p>\n<p>This provoked an angry reaction from the tens of thousands of women who use the page for information and support.<\/p>\n<p>Breastfeeding supporters responded swiftly, creating two pages on Facebook, Bring Back the Leaky Boob and TLB Support, which gained the best part of 10,000 fans in just two days.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, according to group founder Jessica Martin-Weber, the page was back up.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday it was gone again.<\/p>\n<p>Then, later in the day, it returned and is still up today.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to see how the content of TLB might be offensive to closed-minded people, and if the banning mechanism Facebook uses is mostly automated, it&#8217;d explain the way in which the group was originally banned. If all it takes is a complaint, and the (I assume automated) follow-up to the complaint only checks for certain things, the first shutdown is explained. The fact that the group has been through this process before shows a weakness in Facebook&#8217;s administrative tracking policies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook apparently has something against breasts &mdash; specifically those used to feed babies: Facebook had one of its nipple-related related brainstorms last week, banning, unbanning, then re-banning breastfeeding support group, The Leaky Boob.
