Does Facebook have a representation in those countries?

Besides that, we're not talking about porn. Unless you want to see breast cancer videos and mothers feeding their children as porn but that would be a perception error, the label simply does not apply.

Facebook has offices in Dubai, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Singapore. These restrict internet pornography by law; even though much of actual Internet traffic may still be porn, businesses do not wish to associate with it because porn could provide a too convenient legal handle to prosecute representatives or shut down services as a retaliation for publishing things that are e.g. critical of the local government.

Of course we are not talking about porn, but drawing lines in the sand is a murky business.

So there's breast cancer, there's breast feeding, and everything else is porn?

That can't be right.
