A woman is taking on Facebook after she claims that the social networking site removed photos of her natural child birth because it “violated community standards”.
Milli Hill, a writer, mother and founder of Positive Birth Movement, condemned Facebook for censoring “powerful female images” of childbirth but allowed photos of Kim Kardashian’s nude photos to be shown.
Hill, from Somerset, claims that Facebook has put a seven-day ban on her account for a photo of a woman’s water birth.
Hill uploaded the photos onto the Positive Birth Movement Facebook page, an organisation she set up that she describes as a “grassroots movement offering positivity about childbirth.”
The page has over 10,000 Facebook fans, and runs “positive birthing groups”. She told News that the groups are run by birth workers, doulas, midwives and women who are passionate about birth.
“They all run their groups for free, which shows the level of passion for positive change that exists at the moment,” she said. “Most women have had enough of rising interventions, limited choices and the general imbalance of power in the birth room.”
She has not received any comment from Facebook.
