"Facebook spokeswoman Meredith Chin said Facebook - which has more than 200,000 Australian members and 31 million users worldwide - did not prevent mothers from uploading photos of themselves breastfeeding their babies, but it did remove content that was reported as violating Facebook's terms of use.



"Photos containing an exposed breast do violate our Terms and are removed," she said.



It's not clear what constitutes an "exposed breast", which has the lactivists baffled.



Facebook did not respond to emails requesting further clarification but several group members have reported that their images were removed despite the fact they contained no nipple.



"Where does the feeding stop and the boob begin?? A peek of nipple?," one lactivist wrote."
