Apparently Facebook has been censoring photos of people kissing based on the gender of the people in the photos.

So I've found a lovely shot from the miniseries "The State Within" of two of the male characters (who are having a relationship) engaged in a passionate kiss. They're fully clothed. It's now up on my Facebook page - we'll see if that stays up.

I left an approving comment to it. Facebook can't take your photo down now without suggesting I'm a liar, or entirely out of touch with what is offensive--in either case making me like them even less.

I am having a lot of trouble taking this at face value. I think there's more to this than we're hearing. If Faceb0rg was removing pictures of same sex kisses I think we'd have heard about it before now, and would have more than this one example.

There have been other examples. It comes down to if people nominate a photo as "offensive", FB just takes it down to avoid legal action if they think it might be a problem. And for some reason, they seem to think these sorts of pics might be problems.

It's like the breastfeeding pictures that were being removed a couple of years ago.

*Now* I'm tempted to get a Facebook account if only to post pictures of people kissing and women feeding their children. :-D
