Facebook Flags Santa Image

I was looking at Facebook and this image flashed up from a fellow rider. I know him well. He is a very loyal and Christian person. So, I was surprised that he wold have an image flagged by Facebook as having "sensitive content". Here is the warning and the image that was flagged.

I use Facebook to keep in touch with friends (I know sort of an oxymoron ) and have a MeWe account but MeWe does not have many of my friends there. It just ticks me off the power they have and abuse on a daily basis.

I wonder if they would ban a Coca-Cola Father Christmas image?

I'll try it.

We all know its not the Santa image....but the image of him kneeling before the Christ child. Some day, likely when it is too late for them, they will understand their folly.

What's ironic about their objection is that the origin of Santa Claus comes from the legend of Saint Nicholas, a devoted follower of Jesus Christ.

Indeed. There is a part of me that feels sorry for people of this mindset.

Just for the record, this image and the fact that Facebook flagged it made the news on Newsman's Chris Salcedo show this evening.

Chris said, that since the flagging was made viral (hey, wonder did we make if viral). Facebook has removed the flagging.

If anyone believes that Facebook and Twitter are fair and balanced platforms, you may need to seek help.
