Facebook slammed over pulling down breast cancer awareness video
Stockholm: Facebook has apologised for taking down a breast cancer awareness video because the images were flagged as offensive, saying the move was "an error".Swedish cancer charity Cancerfonden said Thursday that its video explaining to women how to check for suspicious lumps, featuring animated figures of women with circle-shaped breasts, had been removed from the US social networking site."We find it incomprehensible and strange how one can perceive medical information as offensive," Cancerfonden communications director Lena Biornstad said."This is information that saves lives," she said.
