Service Banned by FB

[SureWord 155]

In the middle of our service today Facebook decided to ban the stream citing a failure to follow FB standards. No explanation given. There was nothing political, nothing about Trump or voter fraud, nothing about Covid, just cut the stream to those stuck at home mostly elderly and infirmed.

Get ready to see more of this.

SureWord,

May God bless you and your church during this time of unrest and censorship.

I'm sorry that happened! But, yes, FB is getting more and more totalitarian.

Still no word on why they banned us. The message was on Ephesians 3, spiritual blessings in Christ, so nothing that would be a threat to the Establishment's power and control over us. The only thing I can think of is they didn't like us not wearing masks. Yet, there's been no threats from the State or County nor has anybody been wearing masks since indoor services were allowed to be held again in June. Ironically, nobody at church has come down with Wuhan but our masking wearing Governor did.

Sometimes I think they are just randomly targeting folks. I don't know, might sound paranoid. LOL

I was wondering why they were even watching our stream? If it was because we weren't all wearing face diapers then maybe someone flagged us but I just don't see who would. We are just a small Baptist Church that stays out of politics. We are no threat to their power structure. Even so, I don't believe wearing a medical burqa is part of their policies and standards.

So sorry to hear this. We're like you and no threat to facebook, but I am waiting of the day they decide to shut us down.

Someone totally unrelated to your church may have seen it and decided to just report it, just to be jerks, and of course, Facebook probably will do it, just because they're jerks.

None of us should be surprised but, thanks for letting us know. This is probably only the tip of this iceberg.
