Some lower-level employee just banned the entire Outer Limpopo Breastfeeding Advocacy discussion group because there are a couple of photos where the nipple is peeking out around a baby's mouth.

There's a couple of protest groups starting up; some are angry and say that breastfeeding isn't against the TOS at all, since it's not porn. You are becoming a laughingstock among your more liberal members. Some members are posting even more breastfeeding images, in solidarity, generating even more complaints.

Another is claiming that this is a continuation of colonialism, since your company accepts advertisements from Nestle, and that your executives just want to see little Limpoponese babies die because more mothers accepted the use of formula instead of breast milk. Apparently this is a huge issue of national identity in Limpopo, blaming infant mortality on formula-pushing conglomerates. The Limpoponese health minister denounced your company in a prepared statement while your entire team in North America was asleep. Six hours later, it's front page news in Europe.

What do you do, mikeyur? WHAT DO YOU DO?



They obviously need to have some measures in place - of what is acceptable and what isn't. That doesn't mean you need a degree to do the job.

And I'm an SEO/Marketing Consultant.
