Facebook censors photos of the temple


Recommended Posts

That’s interesting.  I wonder if it is an algorithm thing over-correcting after potential complaints of people posting unfriendly and unauthorized pictures of inside the temple that they have taken down.  That’s just a total guess but I could see how something like that might happen.

Or they could be getting reports from church critics that the photos are violent or graphic, so Facebook responds by censoring them.

I don’t know anything about Latter-day Saints Stands United.  Are they a violent group or do they post graphic pictures?  If not, why would Facebook delete them after a review of complaints?

There is nothing remotely graphic or violent in those photos.  One of them was just a stained glass window of geometric shapes.   
We can jump on the persecution bandwagon, or we can give the benefit of the doubt after reviewing the photos and conclude that there is some innocent mistake going on here.  It is clear they are not censoring all pictures of temples, and the ones they are seem completely random.

Me too.  It was the weirdest thing because I couldn't think of a single reason why the posts would come even close to being censored. Nothing controversial at all.
