Speculations are rife that the Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said that \u2018The Lord\u2019s Prayer\u2019 posted to the social media site is prohibited. A spokesperson for Meta, which owns Facebook, has debunked the rumors as fake news to Reuters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Posts include a paragraph of text that begins: \u201cSeeing Mark Zuckerberg talking and saying that posting of the Lord\u2019s Prayer is against the policy I am appealing to all Christians to as Please Follow my lead and Post the Lord\u2019 Prayer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, the post with the hashtag #faith challenge ( here `4948590393411&type=3) has been shared over 500,000 times to Facebook.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fake story is a resee of a rumor from the year 2020 as seen in the news coverage by WUSA9 Source here that explains the fiction behind the tale.<\/span><\/p>\n

A search through Facebook\u2019s Community Standards hardly produces any outright ban on the sharing of \u201cThe Lord\u2019s Prayer.\u201d The group \u201cThe Lord\u2019s Prayer,\u201d (here) which has a link in its \u201cabout\u201d section still exists and can prove that Facebook welcomes the prayer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Facebook defines hate speech \u201cas a direct attack against people \u2014 rather than concepts or institutions\u2014 on the basis of what we call protected characteristics: ethnic origin, disability, religion, caste, sexual orientation, sex, gender and serious diseases. We define attacks as violent or dehumanizing speech, communications depicting as less than, othering, insulting, scornful or dismissive, cursing and scapegoating, or name-calling and calls to segregation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Responding to Reuters the social media giant Meta affirmed through an email that the posting of \u201cThe Lord\u2019s Prayer\u201d does not violate Meta policies.<\/span><\/p>\n

VERDICT<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know it is a lie that Facebook has blocked \u201cThe Lord\u2019s Prayer.\u201d A representative of the Meta, that owns Facebook, also confirmed that the prayer is not against the policies of the social platform.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
