Why Does Facebook Harass and Censor Christians?
On
January 28, 2018, Facebook blocked my account (https://www.facebook.com/julio.severo), for 30 days, for a professional
exposé on how homosexualist groups abuse millions of Brazilian taxpayers’ money
and for my support for Norway’s efforts to deport Muslim criminal immigrants.
Why a 30-day block following a
30-day block? What is the reason for the latest block?
We Removed Something You Posted
It looks like these posts don’t follow our
Community Standards.
The translated posts mentioned by
Facebook are these:
1) Serious exposé on the Brazilian
homosexual movement. Thanks to the collaboration and sacrifice of many readers
and friends, the first major exposé on the misuse of public funds by well-known
homosexual activists is ready. Spread this exposé to all your friends and
leaders of goodwill! http://bit.ly/1cCBiMg
The
resurrection of these two old posts shows Facebook’s abusive behavior. There
are thousands of similar conservative posts on my account and if Facebook
follows this pattern of harassment, bullying and censorship, it can use any old
post to block more times me or even terminate my account.
After showing my two old posts as its
reason to block my account, Facebook’s communication said,
You’re Temporarily Blocked From Posting
This temporary block will last 30 days, and
you won’t be able to post on Facebook until it’s finished.
If you post something that goes against our
standard again, your account will be blocked for another 30 days.
Please keep in mind that people who
repeatedly post things that aren’t allowed on Facebook may have their accounts
permanently disabled.
Facebook could have read my exposé
on the homosexualist movement in Brazil and conclude that this document is
journalistic and professional, just denouncing how homosexualist groups explore
and abuse Brazilian taxpayers’ money. There is no improper language or personal
attacks. Just sheer professional information.
On
Norway deporting Muslim criminals, why Facebook’s fuss? If Muslims rape and commit
other crimes in Norway, cannot they be deported? Cannot I report their
deportation? Cannot I support Norway’s efforts to deport Muslim criminals?
I am an evangelical Christian. As
far as Muslims are concerned, evangelicals are victims. There is no nation of
evangelical majority where Muslims are persecuted. In contrast, there
is no nation of Islamic majority where evangelicals are not persecuted.
In the same way, there is no nation
of evangelical majority where homosexuals are tortured and murdered by
evangelicals. In contrast, there is no nation of Islamic majority where
homosexuals are not tortured and murdered by Muslims.
So my view is not only
conservative. It is also the view of a
vulnerable religious group that is victim of rapes, robbery and murders in
Muslim nations.
In Muslim nations, the evangelical
voice is silenced. Why is Facebook imitating Muslim nations and silencing a
conservative evangelical voice?
If Facebook thinks that my
professional exposé of homosexual groups abusing Brazilian taxpayers’ money is
wrong, disprove it.
If Facebook thinks that my conservative
view on Norway deporting Muslim criminals is wrong, disprove it.
Censorship is not a proper answer
to conservative views on the homosexual greed for taxpayers’ money and Islamic
violence. Censorship is the normal answer from dictatorial systems.
Facebook is a U.S.-based company and it should behave according to its American nature. Censorship is not a part of
American tradition, clearly founded on Protestant principles, the same Christian
values I have and I cherish. Facebook has greatly benefited from the freedom
and prosperity Protestants, who were an overwhelming majority in America’s
foundation, gave to the U.S. Facebook should show some gratitude to
evangelicals for the sake of the U.S. Founders, including George Washington, who
were Protestant.
If Facebook has received freedom in
the largest Protestant nation in the world, why cannot Facebook give, in
return, freedom to evangelicals? Even when there is no direct blocks on my account, my comments
and interactions on Facebook have been treated as spam and deleted. People
often are blocked from sharing my posts. Shadow banning on Facebook?
If Facebook has not been a victim
of harassment, bullying and censorship in the largest Protestant nation in the
world, why has Facebook made me, an evangelical Christian, a victim of its
harassment, bullying and censorship?
I ask Christians around the world
to help me, through prayers and support, fight Facebook’s censorship, harassment
and bullying against my conservative Christian stances.
Pressure
works. Last July, the California-based Freedom of Conscience
Defense Fund sent an official legal letter to the Facebook lawyers threatening
legal action after Facebook removed a post by me and blocked me
for 30 days.
After
the threat, Facebook said,
“A
member of our team accidentally removed something you posted on Facebook. This
was a mistake, and we sincerely apologize for this error. We’ve since restored
the content, and you should now be able to see it.”
