I'm not a facebook user, so I've never run head-long into this policy, but why doesn't facebook allow photos of nude children?
It seems awkward and creepy to consider all photos of nude children to be pornographic.
The vast, overwhelming majority (surely more than 99.9%, maybe more than two nines) of photos of nude children have no plausible sexual tone whatsoever.
And, similarly, I presume that many images that are indeed pornographic depict children who are clothed.
What does one have to do with the other?
For adults, I kinda understand: sex is one of the main reasons adults take their clothes off. But kids, especially young kids, run around naked all the time!
It's all about what someone could plausibly imagine someone else finding arousing. Never mind intent, and never mind content; is there someone, hypothetical or real, who could get off on it? Can pedophiles enjoy it?
This policy is not about protecting anyone. It's about keeping up appearances. The same can be said about most policies.

Does facebook not permit pictures of birth?
