Christian Conservatives Under Attack as Facebook Makes Brutal 24 Hour Decision

Prominent conservative Christian groups may be under attack online, if harsh action from Facebook is any indication.

Both the Catholic News Agency and Breitbart News have reported that the powerful social network has blocked several dozen conservative Catholic pages over a brief 24 hour period.

Some of the pages that are now blocked had millions of followers. The reasons given for the abrupt decision were vague, with Facebook saying that they were “suspected of suspicious activities.”

“One of the blocked English-language fanpages was ‘Jesus and Mary’, which had 1.7 million followers. The page’s main cover photo was of the sacred hearts of Jesus and Mary,” explained CNA.

In the case of that conservative-leaning page, the page’s administrator was locked out of his personal account at the same time. He was reportedly asked to upload a photo of himself to verify his identity.

After doing what Facebook requested, the admin was able to access his personal account… but he was told that the Catholic page with nearly 2 million followers had been disabled.

Administrators of dozens of conservative religious pages indicated that they weren’t optimistic about having the pages they worked so hard to build restored. “It is extremely heartbreaking”….

…said Kenneth Alimba, the administrator of “Catholic and Proud,” a Facebook page with a major following of six million people. “It’s too horrible,” he continued.

Alimba is one of several page admins who believe that they are being purposely censored by Facebook. “They’ve fought and continue to fight anything Catholic and conservative,” he stated to the Catholic News Agency.

It isn’t the first time that Facebook has faced questions about its even-handedness.

“In 2016, Facebook came under fire for allegedly censoring trends to news deemed ‘conservative,'” explained CNA.

“On that occasion, Mark Zuckerberg rejected the allegations of censorship, and met with conservative U.S. leaders to assure them Facebook’s neutrality,” continued the news site.

Another Catholic author and page admin named Godwin Delali Adadzie explained the devastating effect of the blocks on his audience.

“The page happens to be the most effective means of driving traffic to my Catholic websites and blogs,” he said. “I am also a blogger and a writer, and in writing, without readers which requires quality traffic, your writing or blogging will be useless.”

It would possibly be easy to dismiss the strange blocks if they happened to only small or questionable pages. However, even the pages of well-known Catholic leaders were affected.

“Another blocked English-language page is ‘Fr. Rocky,’ belonging to U.S. priest Fr. Francis J. Hoffman, executive director of Relevant Radio, whose page had 3.5 million likes. Fr. Hoffman could not be reached for comment by press time,” CNA stated.

Page administrators have reportedly reached out to Facebook for clarification on the problem, and to restore the pages if possible. The social networking site has apparently not commented on the issue, however.

It should be acknowledged that Facebook is a private company, and is certainly within its business mission to monitor activity and deal with offensive content as it sees fit.

With that said, the prominent pages of popular Catholic and conservative pages are hardly offensive.

As one of the gatekeepers of information for users across the globe, Facebook also has a responsibility to be as fair and unbiased as possible … and millions of Christians are watching closely to see if the company lives up to that ideal.
