The same image had been censored two years ago, before the warning label was removed.
December 10, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Facebook has once again censored an image of Santa Claus kneeling before the infant Jesus in a manger.
Two years ago Facebook first censored the now famous image, identifying it as ‘violent’ or ‘graphic’ content. After a December 2018 LifeSiteNews story about the censoring went viral, Facebook relented, removed the warning, and uncovered the painting.
Last week, LifeSiteNews was made aware that Facebook had once again hidden the touching illustration, slapping the tender image of Santa on one knee and head bowed with the same warning usually reserved for obscene material or photos depicting bloodied victims of terrorism: “Sensitive content … This photo may show violent or graphic content.”
Users then had to click on a button to uncover the photo.
Facebook explains on its site what it means by “Violence and graphic content”:
“We also know that people have different sensitivities with regard to graphic and violent content. For that reason, we add a warning label to especially graphic or violent content so that it is not available to people under the age of eighteen and so that people are aware of the graphic or violent nature before they click to see it,” the social media giant states.
“We err on the side of allowing content, even when some find it objectionable,” declare Facebook’s community standards, saying they do so in order to maintain a “safe environment” for the “Facebook community.”
LifeSiteNews reached out to Facebook in order to understand how and why the image of Santa adoring the newborn Christchild had been censored as “violent” material not once, but twice.

Chinese censors at work!
proving yet again that zuckerburg is doing paybacks for a childhood of coal in his stockings.
Well they haven’t deleted it on mine because I just saw it not 15 minutes ago.
So:
Kneeling before the Baby Jesus is ‘violent’ - but suggesting that White people show obeisance to acknowledge our ‘sins’ is not a violence perpetrated upon a majority population - most of whose ancestors never owned a slave?
I’m glad that I’m old, now. The world is becoming too illogical to live in for much longer.

‘After several days of emails, Facebook offered a one sentence explanation blaming an automation mistake: “Automated systems mistakenly applied a warning to this image which was removed as soon as we identified the error.”
‘Facebook users are now able to freely share the image without any additional step required to view the image.’
More evidence for calling them, “Hatebook.”

Done, 3 months ago.
Looks like Kurt Russell.
Imagine... some people still use this thing!
Abortion is violence. Change my mind, Zuckerschmuck.
Did that right after President Trump was elected. Only joined for the purpose of supporting his election. Same for Twit.
Just modify the image and the FB Brownshirt ‘bots will not find it.
Here is a version.
I am Jewish and don’t believe in either, but: 1) it certainly is NOT violent in any way and2)religious freedom has to mean something - FascistBook is regulating content, not providing a commons fir everyone to put forth their views. As such, Section 230 protection must be withdrawn.
