I logged onto FB today to be told Kelly had posted something to my wall. When I tried to access it the post was "no longer available" and neither was the Belly Belly Kelly profile. Facebook, what has happened? Has Kelly been moderated?
I noticed the same thing - that I couldn't find Kelly's FB profile - I went to comment on something from yesterday and thought at first that I had been de-friended and then went to search for her and nothing came up...
I think maybe FB has removed her profile... :(
She just posted using the actual Belly Belly profile...she has been disabled by facebook for violating FBs terms of service!!!!!!!!!
Yeah I have seen her messages on her other pages now. Shame on facebook. I actually posted the same photos on my facebook and they are still there.
Not only shame on Facebook, but shame on the lowlife who reported it!!!!!!! Facebook doesn't trawl every profile, someone on her list must have reported it. GRRRRR! SHAME ON YOU!
:angry: facebook grrr....
Yep it's true guys!!! I got no warning they flat out disabled it. I've written to them to say I did nothing wrong and I want it back.... but I have a bad feeling it's gone!!!
Shame on me for posting a pic of a mum breastfeeding her baby!!!!
Yup someone has reported it. For effs sake! It depends on whether the profile was completely private or not as to whether it was someone on her list, but I assume it was completely private. I guess some **** could have added her just for that sole purpose :shakehead: Kel had just posted a link to a FB quiz, don't know if anyone saw it, "how dirty is your mind?" with a picture of a sideways eye, looked like a vagina unless you looked very closely. Down the side were quizzes such as "do you like pussy", "what sexual position are you" etc. Really disgusting stuff, accompanied with pictures of women in bikinis spread eagle, tits (when they are actually used in an obscene way, fb is apparently ok with it :doh:)
:angry: GOD I am sick of the double standards!!!
Yup I posted it saying, look Facebook thinks this is okay, but not breastfeeding women!!!! And what I was pointing to was a quiz down the right side which had a couple about to have intercourse (you could see genitals!)
What the hell??! Ohhh, but right, I forgot, we are supposed to be socially conditioned to ACCEPT women being objectified for some dudes gratification, but god forbid society gets used to seeing a mum feed her child in the way nature intended...cos that's just sick... :brickwall:
i cant belive they have taken her page down! that is so wrong, we see 'sex' in advertising, on tv, in the papers, everywhere we look. the clothes in our shops, yet a mother feeding her child is seen as too sexualised! i think this really says something about facebook. they cant take down child pornography from a dead childs tribute site but they can remove a page used to empower women! Disgusting! i emailed facebook on info@facebook.com but i dont think they reply...who knows if they even read it!?
Do we need to start a fan page to get Kelly's Profile back up :D
Shame FB Shame
:angry: SHAME facebook SHAME!!! :protest:
:o I am totally speechless :(
even DP is amazed!!!! i guess its the masses they go with, thousands of sickos probably do those quizes, but the mear few hundred of women looking to educate them selves via kelly FB page can be writen off!
I reported those quizes....and guess what....they are still there!!!!
Kelly, can you just start up another page with a slightly different name??
I'm just bloody disgusted. Shame, FB, shame. Honestly, it's ok to have fan pages called "I like girls who squirt" but not this.
I feel a bit sick.
I'm just bloody disgusted. Shame, FB, shame. Honestly, it's ok to have fan pages with disgusting titles that I just thought twice about posting here but not this.
I feel a bit sick.
How utterly ridiculous :wall: I can't stress how hard I am virtually banging my head on that brick wall.
What is wrong with the world when a gorgeous pic of a breastfeeding mother causes someone's free speech to be violated, yet offensive, degrading and abusive material is not just tolerated but promoted??
I was steadily and more steadily getting shirty with Facebook, but now I'm just downright p***ed off, and major *major* thumbs down (politely put) to the person who reported Kelly's profile.
Geez, this world and some people in it are just stupid sometimes.
Can we get that fan page going for real, or a petition or something??
GRRRRR :angry:
I think if it's that bad, then the best way of responding is to stop using it.
It is utterly ridiculous
I think there's a really strong anti- BF undercurrent in the US. Another US site I used to go to was full of stories about strangers telling BFing mothers off, giving them dirty looks, "do you (dare to) BF in public" threads, "how do you BF in public" questions, etc, etc.
Quite ironic, given that Hollywood is largely responsible for creating the perception that breasts are sexual objects. Turn on MTV and you see a lot more boob than you do when a mother a BFs.
What are they going to do when everyone starts to think that mouths are sexual objects because of the oversexualisation of mouths in advertising (think lipstick advertisements, where lips are designed to look like aroused vaginas, and check out they way mouths are used on MTV), and forget that the natural purpose of mouths is for eating and facilitating communication? Start hiding in closets to eat? Ban all photos of faces? Start cupping our hands over our mouths when we speak? Lunacy!
You're totally right, marcellus. And I'm seriously considering it, despite what I know it will do to my ability to stay in touch with people, with living rurally in the UK - but I'm sure I can find another suitable, morally/ethically/socially accountable place on the interweb to be social.:

:think:
hmm... if you linked to that FB quiz, I reckon that would be what flagged you. I doubt it's the breastfeeding photo... there's pages with loads of breastfeeding photos that aren't disabled, they just remove the photos.
Even tho your comment was opposing that page, you still linked to it, so I'd say that's what did it.
I was wondering who my missing friend was :angry:
So sick of the double standards on FB. So over it!
That's a really interesting point, Liz. If they have an automated flagging system then there's no way it would decipher the purpose behind linking/accessing the material. Has the quiz been removed?
It still doesn't change the huge issues about censoring though, and in this case Kelly's protest related to it.
OMG!!! Look what came up when I tried to create a fan page!!!!
:protest::protest::protest::
Create New Facebook Page
Our automated system will not approve the name "Facebook reactivate BellyBelly Kelly's Facebook Account!!!" because it contains a word or phrase that is blocked to prevent the creation of unofficial or otherwise prohibited Pages.

what the !!!!! Im appaled, as its been said by other posters there are some sick groups and quizzes out there even advertisments on fb i saw one the other day about older guys looking for young girls to be there sugar daddy on an advertisement down the side so obviously this has been approved by fb, they need to get there act together
Yeah I will try some other combinations... grr FB!!
That is among one of the more stupider things I've heard lately. :o
Maybe people should explain to them that we're a bit more enlightened about breastfeeding in Australia and they're not doing themselves any favours assuming that people over here are offended by breastfeeding?
Ok I have create one with no reference to Facebook in the title :rolleyes:
I would prefer to have Kelly look at it first before putting it up, so I will need to screen shot it and email it to Kelly to see if she approves.
good work!!!! like others said, its easy for some to stop using FB, and i thought about it this morning, but with ALL my friends and family in the uk it really is the best and easiest way to keep in touch with everyone.
This is more ridiculous cr@p from Facebook.
I think we need to change tack. Perhaps instead of having days of action where we all post BF pics (just to have a few of them banned and be ignored by Facebook) we should have a day of action where every person finds one or two things that are obscene, and reports them. If enough people do that, we might become noticable...
FB admin/mods/whatever they heck they call themselves are totally ****ed in the head, I'm sure of it. I had a friend who was banned for a few months simply because one of her other friends made a comment on her wall saying "seriously -----, leave me alone I'm too scared to turn on my computer" and all it was about was she had been sending ****loads of dirty jokes to us and this friend was saying it in a joking way and my friend has no idea who reported it because her profile is totally private and no one can see her status comments unless you are her friend and none of her friends reported it because we were all getting the same jokes but someone on FB must have saw it and thought it was bullying? They didn't even ask what the situation was, they just ban your ass.
I just saw a profile called "BellyBelly Boobmuncher" :wtf:
I have just realised my facebook has been moderated:o
A photo of the pregnant woman, topless but with her hands covering her breasts, has been moderated. It is the same photo that was on Kelly's profile.
Directly above was a similar photo, except the woman has a lustful expression and is not pregnant. It remains on my profile despite being linked to a group called T I T S where the members comments are all either Bevis and Butthead style "snigger, booobs" comments, or links to websites intended to embarrass a woman apparently guilty of infidelity. I have reported this group and the comments DAYS AGO yet it still remains and Kelly is gone.
I am (almost) lost for words. Really.
:o stupid face book.
i wish some one one would take face book to court with some of the adds that they allow! they're bordering on porno! they're also allowing underaged girls to expose more boobage then i would if i was bfing. YET it is allowed? and the quizes (like the one kelly pointed out) are allowed!
i think facebook is run by a bunch of men who think boobie = sex. maybe in a few years once they grow up and maybe even become fathers they'll open their eyes up to it and realise boobie = food. GAH. maybe if some one was to write to Mr Obarma he'd make them allow bfing :rofl: but STOP WITH THE SMUT! :wall:
I think an email off to A current Affair might be in order. They would love a story like this.
