The author of the article @Michie posted, Dr. Michael Brown has a large presence on YouTube. I think I've watched all of his debates with Jewish rabbis. He talks about homosexuality and LGBTQ in the context of the Bible as well.

These things are bound to happen when people do not bother to read the content of the op....

The headline to this article is not sensationalistic. It is not click bait. It is truth. Shocking truth. Yes, Instagram has designated videos of live worship on the streets to be in violation of community guidelines, calling the content “harmful.” Let the outrage be felt and heard.

Sean Feucht is a worship leader and songwriter who recently ran for political office in California. He is also a conservative Christian.

On June 23 he tweeted, “This is what we’ve come to in America!

“Instagram is now classifying my WORSHIP videos as ‘harmful or false information’

“Religious Liberty? Freedom of Speech? Big Tech censorship?”

I'm kind of wondering why no one is leaping for joy like Jesus taught

Probably because Jesus did not promise joy all the time. And many of us are not fans of these mini concerts.

Can anyone provide me a link to that video? I can't seem to find it in that article. It should be the highlight.

I've listened to one side, now, I need to listen to the other side and verify what they did was fair according to their rules.

You mean this one:
This Is All Sorts Of Feucht Up

So as an aside, I'd say take anything from him about his "persecution" with several grains of salt. :wave:
tulc(seriously) :sigh:
Wow, what an extraordinarily bitter, bias and completely irrelevant link you shared here.

Thanks for the link.

No mask and no social distancing. The worship leader did not even warn or care for the people listening to him. Did he willingly forget that the angel of death is just lurking with his scythe, prowling around to take as many lives as possible? I see potential COVID spreaders and deaths.

Very selfish and irresponsible. You can raise your hand, sing, and jump around and halleuah for the Lord for all I care, but please not during a dangerous pandemic.

I've seen two sides of the coin, and I'll have to agree with Instagram.

...or it could just simply be a view you don't happen to agree with. :wave:
tulc(just a thought) :)
Nope. The opinion you linked says absolutely NOTHING about what was actually done at the worship set beyond a 7 second clip let alone why Instagram would have censored that particular worship set.
(just a fact)

Does the validity of one's worship and their freedom to post it on social media hinge solely on their political leanings and personal associations? Or perhaps your clear hatred for certain politics overrides anything and everything else?

Yes this is definitely happening. They are censoring people for preaching the gospel on the Tik Tok media platform as well. See the video below.

...or it does.

Apparently it's up to the people who own the platform to decide what they do or don't want on their platform. And they decided they didn't want that particular clip on it. Seems pretty simple to me. :wave:

Or perhaps your clear hatred for certain politics overrides anything and everything else?
...you do understand A) I didn't ban that post, right? and B) my politics don't really have anything to do with this particular thread, if you'd like to discuss that subject perhaps you should start a thread about that? :scratch:

(just a thought)
As far as I know, thoughts are always welcome. :)

I think 'instagram brands manipulative wannabe politician as harmful' would be a more accurate headline.
