[Leica] Banned Photo

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

I am with Nathan on this issue. If I were running Facebook, I would err on
the side of caution under the present circumstances, every time. Besides,
in most issues, there is no absolute "good" or "bad", but just differing
points of view. We tend to forget that a basic principle of being freely
allowed to express an opinion is that others are equally freely allowed to
disagree.

Cheers
Jayanand
