Can't tell the Truth. It might upset the narrative. Reporting on Muslim Persecution of Christians Offends Facebook's 'Standards' - American Thinker
Apparently, reporting on the horrific persecution Christian minorities experience in the Muslim world is a punishable offense for Facebook, as that topic falls beneath the social media giant's "standards."
The truth got a post taken down and a 24 hour suspension. "Don't upset the narrative!" That suspension took place 8 months after the post was published.
It isn't just F*c*book of course. The BBC also doesn't like the Truth. Well, some truths anyway.
The following excerpt from that article is the only thing I can think of that might have especially vexed Facebook (even though it's 100% true):
It's worth recalling that, at the time of their abduction and subsequent butchery, Western media were largely absent. Indeed, before the video appeared, the BBC had falsely reported that the majority of those now slaughtered Copts were "released." (Such downplaying of Muslim persecution of Christians is not uncommon for the BBC.)
What is the Narrative that is being protected? I leave that to you to discern. There are actually several that could be served by stifling this particular Truth. (Hat tip to Wombat-socho.)
