Facebook To Ban Religious Posts and Memes

[Dystopia]

ban their users from creating status updates and image posts related in any way to religion

Really? No freedom of speech? Double standards? So can I display my political ideology by showing, for example, the "A" of anarchy but not a Christian cross?

while also vowing to disband groups and take down pages with religious goals or affiliations.

And only religious groups count? Damn it, we might as well ban anyone with an agenda whatsoever.

The first will see religiously-themed pages being removed, as well as religious groups, private or otherwise, being disbanded

Freedom of speech, association and creation.

The second wave will prohibit the posting, sharing, and general distribution of religious images and memes

But can I share a pic of Stalin?

images asking Facebook users to pray, or encouraging them to believe in one or any religion, will be banned, with warning messages and even account suspensions for those who repeatedly attempt to violate the rule

Propaganda is not illegal, I have the right to proselytize

The third and biggest wave, which is due to come near the end of the year, will impact regular Facebook users themselves, with new filters which will seek out status updates that use “religious keywords,” such as “Jesus,” “prayer,” “Church,” or “God.” Facebook staffers will read flagged status updates to determine whether they should be removed or not, with warning messages and suspensions going out to those who violate the rule.

Seems like an authoritarian dream to me.



Tell me this is a joke.

EDIT - Already found out it is a joke.
