It's idiotic because it's pointless. I guess some people may be offended by it (after all, it's public!) Say that some people are offended by photos of people eating so Facebook decides to ban those. What's the big deal? It's not like it's racial discrimination or anything.

So, it's idiotic because you personally don't feel it's a big deal?

No. It's idiotic because it is actually not a big deal.
We have women who like publishing photographs of them breastfeeding their babies, and we have a corporation that thinks some people are offended by said photographs, so they take them down. The women insist on their right to publish said photographs on the very same website owned by the aforementioned corporation, so they stage a public protest.
I find it entertaining, but I mostly think it is a nice cultural moment in the history of the West. But it is by no means a big deal.
