FB's policy has been defined time and again, "NO nudity *.*". Since it is run by kids, mostly in their early twenties and surely little healthy nudist influence, there is NO judgment, simply policy. Those ads slip through likely because they are small in size therefor fewer flesh tone pixels. Much like TN, no enforcement takes place unless there is a complaint. One complaint though and a faceless intern presses delete. I've heard of instances where the removal was overturned, but don't imagine nudists will get that leniency. I wonder if a tasteful ad that barely meets the user agreement just like the V'S Secret ad, but instead for TN or Tcotta's place, using one of the removed pictures, would get through.
My opinion, is the same for FB and TN, I would rather be overly strict than overly open. But please be consistent for content and ads.
From the examples MC provided, and some of the posts, I'd say their policy is at least a little overboard, if not hypocritical as well. The Terra Cotta pics that were removed were tasteful and definitley not obscene. The same can't be said for some of the other pics they allowed. Sounds to me like someone is slipping Facebook a few bucks. Apparently, MC needs to pay Facebook to look the other way too.
Yes, it is their site and they can set the rules to whatever they want. However, those rules should be enforced evenly. That doesn;t seem to be the case here.
I looked at the AANR poll. There was a comment from a nudist who said that she thought it about right, ...because if nude photos were allowed, there are the sickos that would soon turn it into a porn site. hmmmmmm
Realistically, it is their house and their rules. And they can make up rules as they go and change them as they go. And because it is their house they can apply the rules differently to different persons. Not that I agree with the policy but it is their sandbox.
I agree with this policy when it comes to TN, Facebook and other private web sites. Unfortunately this policy applies to a lot more than Facebook. The nation's media outlets, while supposedly being unbiased, have a policy of reporting only the news that they choose to report. They also blatantly slant the stories to fit their agenda. We cannot really critisize this practice when it is a news paper editorial or internet blog, but when organizations abuse the public air waves in order to promote their causes, it is a problem that should concern us all. Editorials are fine, but they should be labeled as such and not presented as news items.
