The more you hear about Facebook, the more you feel like you’re constantly being watched.

This morning, the social networking site de-activated Peter Davis’ account. Paper‘s Editor-at-Large posted a picture of a statue at Rick Owens’ house—a statue that looks like a real naked person and is, if you want to click through to his Twitter, pretty graphic. He was interviewing Owens and snapped images throughout his Paris home, including this one.

I probably wouldn’t think twice about posting an amazing, if half naked image of Kate Moss and tagging all of my former interns in it–I haven’t, but I would. And I wouldn’t expect my Facebook account to be de-activated. Though if it was, I’d probably agree with Peter who tweeted, “I am quitting FB. Twitter takes less time.”

But the real question is, does anyone who’s friends with Peter Davis care? The great thing about the internet is that everything’s out there, but you get to pick and choose what you click. So if, for example, you don’t ever want to see an image of nude woman, you probably wouldn’t click on a fashion site, or befriend a fashion person.

Meanwhile, Davis’ account is already back up and running, so if you we’re one of his 5,000 friends, he’d like you to re-request his friendship.

After looking at the Twitter…I must agree with one of the commenters there. It just seems so classless.

But I guess, do what you do. Though Davis should really know why you don't post a picture of someone's d**k, even if it is a statue. Looks too real. This is what happens when older generations use Facebook.

This is hilarious! Social networks are truly taking over the world. Have you guys heard about the girl who got fired via Twitter? Epic…

It was so graphic! It cannot be good to post something like this as there are kids in Facebook! They are registered under the guise of being 18 already but they're really not. Check out some of the accounts and you will see that the picture are more on school events posted by graders. We should be mindful of what we post!

R u sure it's back up and running? I can't find him anywhere …

Seeing naked people is a risk everyone has to take when they get on the internet. Deal with it. Davis isn't responsible for anyone who might see that picture.
