""A nipple and a hand are the same thing in an image and under the first ammendment.""
You are aware that the first ammendment has nothing to do with what people do and do not allow on webspace they OWN right?
There are also a plethora of other rules, regulations and laws regarding "nipples" that aren't protected by the first ammendment. I can't stand when people think that the first ammendment means they can do any damn thing they want any damn where they want. I am HUGE fan of it, but I really think people should fully comprehend what it means before they go spouting off taglines and hot phrases regarding it.
I realize some VERY excellent artists have felt censored due to the new policy. Well unfortunately life aint fair. If as grown adults people have not come to terms with this yet, then damn.... The problem is that people push boundaries just as absolutely far as they can, any business has to come to a point where they have to make some hard decisions about firm rules - otherwise people who want to exploit the grey area will walk all over them.
Now here I had no intention of getting into this discussion again and someone had to go and mention the bill of rights. In case anyone is not completely clear on all it entails - here:
