Richard Metzger, television host and author, recently received an email from Facebook letting him know that a photo of his had been taken down for violating “Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities,” which prohibits “nudity, or any kind of graphic or sexually suggestive content.” The photo in question was of two men kissing.

Even better! The photo was attached to a London ‘kiss-in,’ organized to raise awareness about mistreatment of gay patrons at the John Snow pub; this event was published on Facebook and has itself been taken down.

What makes this especially worrying is the fact that Facebook doesn’t respond to violation reports with automatic removal – administrators claim to “look into each report thoroughly in order to decide the appropriate course of action,” only removing the offending content if a violation has occurred.

Well done, that.
