After coverage on Mashable and elsewhere, Facebook has removed the porn ads that sneaked in over Thanksgiving - ads for a webcam site showed topless women in the Facebook sidebar.

The company also put out a statement explaining their boob: Facebook strictly prohibits pornography and adult content as part of its advertising guidelines, and it reviews ads running on the site to ensure they meet those guidelines. In this case, Facebook immediately disabled three ads after a review revealed that they were displaying prohibited images.

It's not their first knocker block: Facebook previously came under fire for removing pictures of breast-feeding, treating them as "obscene" content.
