Facebook Cracks Down on Christian Content, Labels It ‘Hate Speech’
Slay News ^ | 5/21/23 | Frank Bergman

Posted on 05/21/2023 11:04:54 AM PDT by CFW

Facebook has provoked a widespread backlash after the social media platform deleted Christian content and labeled it “hate speech.”

The issue was highlighted by journalist Billy Hallowell, a former Blaze writer.

Hallowell, a Christian, exercised his religious freedom by posting on Facebook: “Jesus died so you could live.”

However, despite his post reflecting one of Christianity’s core beliefs, Hallowell’s post was deleted by Facebook and he was accused of spreading “hate speech” on the Big Tech platform.

Hallowell shared about this on Twitter, backed up by screenshots, and a comment stating that the incident was “very, very bizarre.”

I hate hate book. I had it for about one week about 15 years ago and got friend requests I didn’t even know. Plus weird email. I cancelled it after that one week, which it was hard to figure out how to do. Con job bastards.

I had absolutely fabulous life for 83 years. Great health, better wealth and amazing family. All made possible by my religious book, Bhagavad Geeta, which was written 3000 years before bible. Why I need to change anything?

If you’re content with having your best life now, go ahead. I’d prefer mine to be for eternity.

The left is self-absorbed with amputating genitals and calling that, “affirming health care.”

Well...



Galatians 5:12
   As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!

Exactly right. Or they will say don’t judge people who sin differently than you.

Well, I guess saying Jesus died is hatred toward Christ….

I would say that denying that Jesus died would be hatred. He didn't rise from the ill. He didn't rise from the wounded, but feeling better now. He rose from the dead. Q.E.D.

Now add pornography to that. You would not see the number of straight men wanting to either cut their privates off to be women or just to look like them so they can be aroused all day if it wasn’t for porn. Also pedophilia would not be pushed and promoted and child trafficking wouldn’t be so high. Epstein Island would not be a thing and the CIA would have to work a hell of a lot harder to blackmail and control people if people were not so addicted to porn.

But then again, every downfall of man starts with a thought. Because entertaining a thought always leads to action. Who ever controls your mind or emotions controls the person. The churches failed to teach that and became weak, appeasing the world and not God.

This is incredible and from another social media site called Reddit. It seems legitimate and if so it should be spread far and wide.

The reason being we truly at war with big tech and they hate us with a passion:
Reddit:

“ AutoModerator

Stickied comment

1 yr. ago
Bad Choices sub rules & FAQ: All MAGA Nazis and Russian trolls pretending to be American lefties will be banned on sight.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.”

Did everyone catch that? From an auto-moderator “All MAGA NAZIS”.

Not just Facebook, of course. In the last two days, MSN blocked both of these comments from me, labelling them “hate speech”:

1) Disruptive? He brought candy bars and “no immediate response was reported at the event”. At most, in a comical way, the professor made people think for a moment about what a man is and what a woman is.

2) The people who object to the phrases “All lives matter” or “It’s ok to be white” are not teaching love.

Disagreement with the left or our political over-lords has become “hate speech”. Of which there is no such thing. Speech is speech. There may be speech you disagree with, but there is no legal standard or definition of “hate speech”.

The left introduces a word or phrase and then repeats it non-stop until it becomes standard. Social media pushes it and the media assists them by using their words in articles. That’s how “hate-speech” and “gender affirming” care have become something that is now included in articles daily.

You’re right. So many preachers fail to teach the Word; only comfortable vapid sermons. I’m more disappointed in the Christian church than secular Facebook.

They see that FB is lame. TikTok is so much better.

TikTok is run by China and encourages [American] kids to do challenges like the "Tide Pod" challenge. I don't trust either of them.
