FACEBOOK told a disabled rights campaigner that a photo of a teenage amputee was "disturbing" and blocked his page.
Simon Sansome, 37, who runs group Ability Access, was stunned when the social networking site told him a photo of Alton Towers crash survivor, Vicky Balch, breached its rules.Rex FeaturesThe picture in question shows the young victim, who was 21 at the time, in a tasteful, naked shot - and has been up on the page for nearly three years.
Mr Sansome, who uses a wheelchair after a rugby accident left him with spinal damage four years ago, managed to request a call with Facebook's marketing team, which he recorded.In it, the operator tells him: "Anything that'd disturbing isn't allowed on Facebook."I don't, but some might."I have never come across a page that promotes disability."
Ability Access, which Mr Sansome launched four years ago, shares photos, videos, events, advice and information relating to disabilities.Mr Sansome, who lives in Leicester, told The Sun Online: "Facebook has just pulled this picture out of obscurity saying it's adult content, but it's not, it's empowering people."I've been discriminated against - I'm appalled.
It's beautiful. Not disturbing.
The woman is an exhibitionist.
Shouldn’t have to hide any kind of disability. Facebook won’t let you post pics of your children in nappies and T-shirt’s without that bullshit warning.....
Let’s be honest, you can have a decent wank looking at her picture🤣
DO NOT idolize disability that's a road leads to hell and crippled sick humankind.
