The Bible observes that we are all born between "piss and shit," and somehow piss and shit end up getting a bad rap. It reminds me of the old logic joke, "All tables have four legs. My dog has four legs. Ergo my dog is a table."
PARIS (AP) -- Facebook lost a crucial legal battle Friday as a Paris court ruled the social network can be sued in France over its decision to remove the account of a French user who posted a photo of a famous 19th-century nude painting....It means a French court will now be entitled to hear the case of a 57 year-old Parisian teacher and art lover, whose Facebook account was suspended five years ago without prior notice. That was the day he posted a photo of Gustave Courbet's 1866 "The Origin of the World," which depicts female genitalia.
I vividly remember coming across that painting in the Musée d'Orsay.
ReplyDeletePeople can debate it's value as a work of art. When it comes to Facebook, do they have a right to control what people post on their site, and to limit its members to people who follow their rules?
As it's privately owned, yes.
