I don't think there's been a thread on this...

Do you think that taking the photo's off was the right choice for ebay to make or do you think that it was the wrong decision and that it's being too sensitive over the nature of the photograph's?

The woman was probably being a bit more cynical than she claims. Why would pictures of someone else's family be worth anything unless there is some, erm, interest for the purchaser?
She is right though. You can see more in Argos Additions.
But they're not being a part of anything. We're talking about a minority of people who to be honest I doubt would even bother, seeing as they can get worse for free.
True, but I still think it's far fetched.
You have to question why the woman was selling the picture.
Be very aware that I am against artistic censorship. People who take the pictures should not be jailed or condemned as paedophiles. As the woman says, you can see more provocative pictures in the underwear or swimwear parts of a children's clothing catalogue.
I don't think the pictures are offensive. I do question why the woman was selling them, and whether she was naive or cynically trying to get people to buy the pictures because her children were not clothed.
I doubt she was trying to get people to buy the pictures because her children were not fully clothed! I don't think it was naive really, fair enough if it's in the terms and conditions, but it's not even something that would have crossed my mind because it would be "small fry" to a paedophile, I just couldn't see them bothering. Why bother when there are other easier ways?
people at ebay might even have wanted to keep them there, but terms and conditions are exactly that, thats why they were removed, there doesnt need to be an argument about it
I'm not argueing. I was asking whether people thought what ebay did was right, not to do with the terms and conditions but on principle.
you cant really have a discussion when the photos were never taken down for any matter of principle
Not that easy though...
Just because the filth exists, doesn't mean that it should be handed to them on a plate.
No. I get the impression that either she was so cynical as to try and sell naked pictures of children, or so naive as to what would happen to them.
Why would anyone buy pictures of somebody else's kids without a motive? I doubt they were works of artistic genius.
The "paedophiles are everywhere" comments do unnerve me though; or they do given the context. Most paedophiles who abuse are known to the victim. The ones who get caught with images of child abuse just tend to be pathetic lonely men.
and most are family members, or close family friends, not a old strange guy in a park
