Facebook Censorship of Christians MUST STOP! Lawsuit underway!

Facebook is censoring Christians and it’s time we nip that in the butt!

I never thought I’d see the day when our country would come to a place where we were not allowed to share our views, thoughts, beliefs and opinions. This is a wake up call for all Americans! Our freedom of speech is disappearing before our eyes. If we don’t fight for our rights, our children will greatly suffer. There are so many areas where our freedom of speech is being stripped, but the biggest place where it’s happening the most is good ol’ Facebook.

If people can post death threats and violent graphic photos of sex, (which should be illegal) on their Facebook page, others who post stories of God’s truth and hope should also be allowed – if not featured posts. I have personally had my videos blocked on Facebook as well as people filling my inbox telling me they can’t share my posts or like my posts. I could really care less about if they hit the LIKE button. I want people to be able to share the content that I produce. Many other close freinds are having hte same issues on Facebook. However, one bold warrior for Christ, Pastor Rich Penkoski is in the midst of a lawsuit with the state of West Virginia and soon Facebook due to what recently transpired on his page.

Complete LIE!Rich spoke truth in love regarding his relationship with the Lord and how God wants us to live according to his word so that people would come to a life saving knowledge of him. However, Facebook doesn’t like Jesus. They took his Warriors for Christ page down without any notice and without any reasoning. Rich had over 226,000 followers in less than a year! There was no hate speech on his page. In fact, he received much hate through Facebook users. One person told him,”You should go kill yourself. You don’t deserve to live.” What did Facebook do? Nothing. The love of Christ was too much for Facebook to bear and yet beheadings and death threats of Christians on other people’s pages were completely within Facebook rules and regulations! Are you kidding me?

Instead of hiding in a hole, Rich started a second page which had grown to over 6,000 followers in a week and AGAIN Facebook unpublished his page! Again with no explanation why! No posts were removed, it was just unpublished and all appear requests ignored. He is now on his third page Warriors for Christ on Facebook and yet his posts are now marked as spam. What do we have to do as Christians in order to share OUR views on Facebook? Change our names and keep starting over while the people who post the real hatred are constantly on the news feed? This is unjust and unacceptable!

I congratulate Rich for taking a stand. It’s long hours of dealing with details of the lawsuit while raising 6 kids and running a full time ministry and yet he’s DAVID fighting GOLIATH. If we don’t deal with this major censorship, our kids will have NO voice in the upcoming years.

Here is a recent episode of Hollywood Insider, where Carla D’Addesi and I ask Rich the tough questions about what went down with Facebook and how we can fight for our freedom of speech to remain in America. Watch this video and please share and post on your wall!

    I ‘m reading various articles related to censorship Actions/lawsuits and their status. I”m concerned that those I’ve read seem to imply “hate speech” is okay to ban. “Hate-speech” is why we have Constitutionally protected Free Speech. Someone (in the Government or your neighborhood) might hate your speech and try to shut you up. Low, our Communities and “public spaces” (even online communications organizations) ARE violating Rights because some contradict the Agenda of the Power Elite and the brainwashed masses. THEY shut one down here and there and no one is doing anything (Trump!). People are being beaten and prosecuted when they FREELY ASSEMBLE and defend themselves. Hate speech? They want to declare our Bibles hateful and put warning labels IN them. “Hate speech?!” Wake up!

    Simply put facebook enjoys its anti copyright privileges because its considered a social platform. The moment they decided to start targeting people of a different political opinion they became a publisher and should not longer enjoy the protections it has. They really need to be sued out of existence for there anti free speech censorship. I for one think they need to be open to lawsuit after lawsuit for their bullshit, we would never have allowed the phone companies to close down your conversation with another person if they didn’t like what you were saying yet we have an even worse situation now with facebook illegally targeting individuals if they aren’t willing to go along with the leftist lies of any given day. Enough is Enough.

    I tried posting several links to the BLM founder’s frivolous spending buying a 1.4 million dollar house in a rich white neighborhood. Both pats were blocked because they violated community standards. So I screenshot the articles and posted them. So it’s not ok to post about a Marxist racist hate group leader, but it is is ok to post frivolous spending of Hollywood actors or republicans politicians.

      Unfortunately, this doesn’t surprise us one bit! We have been put in Facebook jail so many times in the last year. We’ve probably been hidden for more time than we’ve been “live.”
