Peninsula | WomynMothers Breastfeed and Protest at Facebook's HQ in Palo Alto
M.I.L.C. (Mothers International Lactation Campaign) reports that recently, Facebook has started 'pulling a myspace' by not allowing people to post profile pictures of babies nursing. The pictures have been reported as 'obscene' and have been removed- their posters warned not to repost or fear being kicked off of Facebook.  alexa-ethan_12-27-08.jpg The Raging Grannies contributed a song written for the occasion called 'Rise Up!' and sang it with M.I.L.C. in front of Facebook's door.
