Local Christian Bookstore Suspended by Facebook

    8

    The owner of an Evansville Christian bookstore is expressing frustration after Facebook suspended the store’s account for violating Facebook’s “community standards.”

    James Peters, the owner of the Vineyard Christian, located on Evansville’s east side, shared the suspension on his personal Facebook page, saying, “This must be due to the Christian content that we post, so our page may be gone for good as we are not going to change our content. We are a Christian store, and we will always give Glory and Praise to our LORD, JESUS CHRIST.”

    Comments on the post have been overwhelmingly supportive.

    Peters ended his comment with a call to action, “It is time that all believers join together to stop these platforms from censoring Christian content…the problem is that “they” no longer care if we realize this is going on or not.”

    1. It appears that ‘Facebook Community’ is really referring to ‘Facebook Owners’.

    2. This story was incomplete. Surely Mr. Peters knows what was said that caused the suspension and that is vital to understanding what actually happened.

      • Sure. Just like when Facebook says “we removed your post because it violated our community standards but we can’t show you what it is”.

        • Facebook, is a private entity and can do whatever they desire on their site. They are under no obligation to allow anything they disapprove of on their site. Just like the CCO is under no obligation to even allow these comments if they choose.

    3. Facebook seems to be using Nazi practices in managing Christian accounts. What are they so afraid of? Colonel Klenck will tell us all…
