PHOTO: Facebook Bans Woman's Mastectomy Pictures

After Joanne Jackson beat breast cancer she wanted to share her story with the world. However, when she posted photos of her mastectomy scars on Facebook, the images were flagged as offensive and later removed from the site.

The 40-year-old British woman had posed for a photo shoot to celebrate her life and decided to upload 11 images to the social networking site in order to inspire other women in similar situations, the Huddersfield Daily Examiner reports.

But Jackson received a notice from Facebook explaining that some of her content had been taken down because it violated the company's policy regarding nudity.

Soon, the mother took her story public and posted one of the offending pictures on her Twitter account:
