For a while there was really confusing Facebook blocks of any images of mothers breast feeding their children but no blocks of beheading videos.

It was weird.



Facebook also doesn't allow violent content so I assume you meant selective enforcement?


From Dec 2013

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24608499

> Facebook is allowing videos showing people being decapitated to be posted and shared on its site once again.

> The social network had introduced a temporary ban in May following complaints that the clips could cause long-term psychological damage.

[...]

> Its terms and conditions now state that it will remove photos or videos that "glorify violence" in addition to other banned material, including a woman's "fully exposed breast".

So,(in 2013) they allow beheading videos so long as you're not glorifying violence.

And in 2013 breastfeeding mothers were banned from Facebook.

The breast feeding policy changed in 2014 http://huffpost.com/us/entry/5473467
