Facebook Mistakes Elbows For Boobs – Takes Down Photo [Pic]

It was all a test! And Facebook failed. The web magazine 'Theories of the Misunderstanding of Things' decided to test Facebook to test how the social networks terms of service deal with pictures that are misleading. This time, Facebook mistook elbows for boobs, and took down the photo, no questions asked. Keep reading to find out possibly why.From Inquisitr:

The magazine wrote, “So here’s last night’s FB alertness test results: FB moderators can’t tell an elbow from a dangerous, filthy, uncanny and violent female breast.”

The magazine continued, “No questions were asked and the post is down. Imagine our surprise.”

 

Facebook is moderated by employees in Morocco and other developing countries who are paid one dollar an hour through an online outsourcing company called oDesk.

 

A Moroccan former employee published a document, distributed to contractors, which revealed that the site informs its employees to delete all forms of sexual activity, even simulated activity where nothing explicit is shown.

 

Excessive blood and “crushed heads, limbs, etc.” are allowed as long as no insides are showing the employee said.

 

The oDesk staff members are instructed that the social networking site will not condone “slurs or racial comments of any kind.” Such comments are supposed to be deleted as soon as possible.

 

However, they may be allowed to stay online if the comments are made in a humorous or ironic way.

 

Do you think Facebook is taking it too far? Or do you think it's better to be safe than sorry?
