Mothers angry at the way Facebook has taken down photos of women breastfeeding their children staged nurse-in demonstrations at the company's new Menlo Park headquarters and satellite offices around the world.
Facebook officials said that breastfeeding photos are taken down only when they are flagged as inappropriate and that sometimes errors happen. But protesters called on the social-networking giant to better train employees to recognize legitimate photos and to institute a better way to contact the company when an error is made, especially one that causes a member's account to be suspended.
