The Censorship of Religious Content on Social Media 🤐

Have you ever thought what it would it would be like to have no voice? 🤐 I know I have, and I think it would be absolutely terrifying. What is worse is the censorship of religious material on the world's largest social media platform…Facebook. Currently, the social media giant has 2.6 billion accounts; many of whom are people of different faiths. During this time, we need our faith more than ever before. Several Sundays ago, Facebook started a nefarious precedent in censoring religious content. 😢 For many people and churches, the only way to have a live service or share Biblical content is through social media platforms. One blog that I know, JesusOut-Loud.com, was censored for violating Facebook’s “community standard.” Over 240 articles of content, including shares, were eliminated from the blog’s Facebook page.👀 I am currently subscribed to the blog, and there is nothing in the blog that is “misinformation or false news.” Simply put, Facebook is discriminating against those of faith. 😤 Eventually, Facebook restored all of the content, but it is scary that our voice can be taken away in a flash. We, as Christians, need to stand up to the social media giants, and let them know that Biblical content is important.
