Facebook has been forced to apologise to the family of a sick baby and offer them $10,000 in advertising credit after banning a photo of their young son awaiting heart transplant saying it was 'too graphic.' Hudson, who is nearly two months, has the heart disease cardiomyopathy and desperately needs a heart transplant to survive so his father Kevin Bond posted a photo of him on a Facebook page called 'Hudson's Heart' to raise awareness and money for medical costs. But when Mr Bond, a photographer from Atlanta, tried to advertise thepage for $20 the social media giant rejected the photo citing it as not adhering to their guidelines and being either 'scary, gory or sensational, and evokes a negative response.'
