I understand Facebook’s censorship
Julio Severo
Facebook’s
systematic censorship of Christians makes it look like a communist platform
owned by some Cuban or an Islamic platform owned by Saudi wealthy dictators. It
does not appear even to be a U.S. service.
He
does not like the use of his social media to promote conservative ideas.
If
we conservatives had a large social media, would we give free space to leftist
ideas and the promotion of disgusting figures like Fidel Castro, Che Guevara,
Hugo Chavez, Nicolas Maduro and Islamic dictators? Of course not. Our attempt
to stop the spread of evil would be labeled “censorship” by left-wingers.
The
owner of Facebook, with his leftist vision, is disgusted with conservative
ideas. He condemns what he dislikes, and bars in his space the spread of “evil,”
which to him are conservative views.
In
his left-wing morality, he is right to censor “evil.” And in our conservative
morality, we are right to censor the true evil — leftism.
Disgraceful
news: leftists already have their own Facebook, which is the largest social
media, and we conservatives have nothing of the sort. So we occupy their
spaces. This is the sad reality.
Unfortunately,
all the major social networking services — Google, Facebook and Twitter — and
all the big companies we conservatives need to access the internet — Microsoft,
Apple, etc. — are of a leftist nature.
The
largest capitalist country in the world, the United States, after divorcing
capitalism from its old Protestant values, lends itself to serving any ideology
that is profitable to it, be it leftism, Islam, or any other lucrative “ism.”
And
we conservative Christians have to use all the leftist services and companies
that are profitable for American capitalism.
If
the marriage of communism to capitalism in China is disgusting, it is even more
disgusting the American case where capitalism divorced itself from
Protestantism and it has married any ideology making it profitable. American
capitalism has become a great prostitute at the service of dangerous clients.
The
most important struggle would be to return Protestant values to American
capitalism.
But
do we have time for this, given Jesus’s urgent call, which is to preach the
Gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons among sinners, including socialists,
Muslims, atheists, capitalists, Buddhists, witches and even nominal Christians
who, realizing it or not, serve to Satan?
We
are instructed in the Bible to preach in season and out of season, which can be
translated into preaching Jesus Christ on Facebook, Twitter, Google and beyond,
whether there is censorship or not, whether there is persecution or not.
The larger mission cannot be
forgotten. If leftists do not forget their mission, how can we forget ours?
