[Leica] Banned Photo

[Nathan Wajsman]

Let me contribute a bit (tiny bit) of dissent. Put your self in FB’s place. They are constantly under attack for spreading hate speech, sexual exploitation, etc. Given the sheer volume of posts, they probably cannot spend more than 0.5 seconds on any individual post. So if someone reported Tina’s photos as "naked children”, what choice does FB have? Either ignore the issue and risk being tarred yet again as a purveyor of kiddie porn, or take down the post and risk upsetting a talented artist but otherwise not incurring any consequences.

I do understand that Tina puts her images on FB because her purpose is to raise awareness about Honduras and to sell stock photos—and obviously FB is an important marketing channel for both. I am in the fortunate situation that I am just a hobbyist not trying to sell anything, so I do not put anything “serious” on FB, mostly links to images that I am hosting elsewhere.

Cheers,
Nathan
