Just how exactly does seeing a breast harm a child? What harm is Facebook protecting them from?

This has absolutely nothing to do with “keeping children safe”. It is entirely about preventing offense to the minority of adults who should know better.

What is worse, it encourages attitudes which are known to be harmful, sometimes very harmful. Harming children because of adult prejudices and hiding behind a smokescreen of protecting children is despicable.

It’s a breast, get over it.
