Facebook censors Catholic charityâs anti-violence campaign for women
A UK-based Catholic charity has accused Facebook of censoring its campaign to protect Christian women who have been exposed to violence in predominantly Muslim countries.
Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) had launched a digital campaign in November to raise awareness of the violence often experienced by persecuted Catholic women in Islamic countries, and had chosen to spend money on Facebook to promote its posts.
However, the social media giant opted to severely restrict the organizationâs ability to publish adverts online on Facebook, whilst simultaneously banning the charity from its affiliated platforms, Instagram and WhatsApp.
Facebook restricted the ACNâs campaign by 90 percent in November, explaining to the charity that it had taken the measures to limit the charityâs reach due to a number of users reporting the ads as âoffensive, misleading, sexually inappropriateâ or âviolent.â
Despite taking action two months ago, the tech giant has not yet lifted any of the constraints imposed on the organization, and has repeatedly refused to explain exactly how the adverts violated its guidelines, despite numerous requests by ACN to do so.
The director of the UK branch of the charity, Neville Kyrke-Smith slammed the social media company for its lack of transparency or logic in an official statement which read:
âWe are horrified that our campaign which aims to help suffering women has been censored in such a draconian manner. By claiming to have banned our advert for violating its guidelines, but refusing to say which guidelines or how, Facebook have made themselves judge, jury and executioner.â
The campaign had been directed towards United Nations authorities and the UK government, and had included a report titled Hear Her Cries which detailed the acts of sexual violence committed against Christian women in Muslim-dominated countries such as Nigeria, Mozambique, Iraq, Egypt, Pakistan and Syria.
Facebook has repeatedly come under fire for perceived censorship without justification, last year banning the #SaveTheChildren hashtag, which at the time had been trending in the United States as part of a movement to stop the trafficking of child prostitutes and other sexual targeting of children.

Amsterdam: Vaccine skeptics bitten by police dogs, beaten by police
Dutch law enforcement officers violently attacked protesters at the Museumplein in Amsterdam. The peaceful demonstration on Sunday against the WEF-compromised government’s Corona policy, was forcefully shut down.
A panicked Amsterdam Green mayor Femke Halsema announced by means of an emergency order that no one would be allowed to gather on the square after many thousands of protesters had already arrived to express their dissatisfaction with the Rutte administrationâs policies.
Several protesters were severely beaten. People were also bitten by police dogs, instructed to attack participants. Another video showed how someone is beaten full on the head with a baton and falls to the ground dazed.
Anti-vaxx lawyer Bart Maes said he would file a report. In response to the video in which a man is bitten by a police dog, he responded: âThatâs number one [on social media] again. Another police dog. Do they never learn?â Maes will also file a report against the officer who hit the man full on the head. âThatâs declaration two,â added the lawyer.
A few weeks ago it was announced that the Public Prosecution Service would prosecute two officers for the violence they used during a Corona protest on March 14 last year at the Malieveld in The Hague. The Public Prosecution Service found the violence with which they arrested a demonstrator âdisproportionateâ.
Mayor ordered military police to crack down on peaceful demonstrators
From the images on social media, it is evident that mayor Halsema had called in the military police. âSo the Royal Military Police is deployed against citizens who want to demonstrate, which â as Halsema said â is one of the most important building blocks of a democracy. The fact that it is now normal to carry out preventive searches on demonstrators says something about the decline of this country,â noted political reporter Paso Dagori.
People who were on their way to the Museumplein were also pulled off the road. Member of parliament Pepijn van Houwelingen (FVD) posted images on social media of a bus full of protesters being pulled over by the police.
A police officer yelled at them to turn around. âIf you go into Amsterdam, you will all be stopped,â the officer said, threatening the passengers.
âLook, this is what a dictatorship looks like where fundamental rights are worth nothing,â Van Houwelingen commented. âDemonstrating for âthe climateâ or against âZwarte Pietâ is all very well in Amsterdam. But if you challenge the totalitarian regime and start demonstrating for freedom, suddenly everyone is arrested.â
It was Halsema herself who was present at a BLM demonstration not long ago and said she had not intervened with violent marchers because âfor many people, demonstrating is their last line of defenceâ? The same Halsema unleashed extreme violence against demonstrators who had used âtheir last line of defenceâ on Sunday.
FWM learned from insiders present at Museumplein that the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee was indeed present in great numbers. They are not part of the police force but part of the army. Participants were being searched extensively in an effort to intimidate them.
Dutch leaders are doubling down on their WEF commitments
On Sunday, the Office of Spokespersons for Cabinet Formation announced the official list of the 29 members of government in the new and fourth cabinet of VVD leader Rutte. The new Minister of Education, Culture and Science will be scientist Robbert Dijkgraaf (D66). Dijkgraaf is a director at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton in the United States.
Several people have already noticed that Dijkgraaf has his very own page on the World Economic Forum website. Zeeland Member of Parliament Martin Bos (FVD) called him âa fanatical WEF ministerâ.
Dijkgraaf took part in the Bilderberg conference in 2013 together with Prime Minister Rutte. On the agenda that year was online education, the promise and effects.
According to some implicated Dutch ministers, the WEF is of no importance. âThe whole WEF means nothing to me. Never had anything to do with it and never felt any of its influence. WEF is a Swiss talk club that brings people with influence together,â ChristenUnie leader Gert-Jan Segers wrote on social media on Wednesday. He was recently outed as one of the WEFâs puppets.
But as one Dutch commentator noted: âIf that WEF is nothing, as some politicians are proclaiming here, why are they going there?â

Anti-Semitic Al-Kuds Day advertised in “diversity calendar” of Berlin police
The Berlin police have listed the anti-Israeli Al-Kuds Day in their “Calendar of Diversity” 2022. As the newspaper B.Z. reports, the day proclaimed by the Iranian revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini is listed in the calendar in a series of dates with Christmas, the Jewish New Year or the Hindu Festival of Lights.
Anti-Semitic and Islamist slogans had repeatedly been shouted at the Al-Kuds march in Berlin in recent years. Al-Kuds Day is celebrated annually on the last Friday of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. In the past two years, the rally was cancelled. It has not yet been decided whether it will take place this year.
“The diversity calendar is actually a good idea, but the Al-Kuds Day in the diversity calendar is a terrible blunder and the opposite of diversity competence,” Green Party politician Volker Beck criticised to the paper. Beck is the executive director of the Tikvah Institute, which campaigns against anti-Semitism. Al-Kuds Day, he said, was a “day of hatred and incitement”. Israel-hatred and anti-Semitism should not be accepted as part of diversity. The calendar must be withdrawn and revised immediately.
The approximately 26,000 Berlin police officers have the possibility to download the “diversity calendar” from the intranet. The police have not yet commented on the accusations.
Four footballers killed by heart attacks over Christmas
The deaths of a Croatian soccer player (23 years old), an Omani (29), an Egyptian (23) and an Algerian (30) happened in the wake of the sudden retirement of Argentinian player Sergio Agßero . Agßero suffered chest pains and dizziness during a match in October and the star striker had been benched for three months.
Last week was particularly tragic for world football. Four footballers died of heart attacks on the pitch, while disappointment at the sudden retirement of Sergio AgĂźero due to heart problems continued.
The first victim was the young Croatian player, MarĂn Cacic, 23, who died in the hospital where he was in an induced coma three days after fainting on the field while playing the Christmas Tournament in his native municipality, Gospic.
According to local media Sportske Novosti, Cacic felt unwell in the middle of the game, and as he left, he collapsed. An ambulance immediately transported him to the Gospic hospital where they resuscitated him. He was then transferred to the Rijeka hospital, the third largest city in Croatia, where he died. The cause of death was a heart attack.
âMarĂn had been healthy until now, and examined regularly, before he came to play in Italy and Slovakia,â said his father.
A day later, 29-year-old Omani soccer player Mukhaled Al-Raqadi died of a heart attack. He collapsed in the pre-match warm-up between the Muscat and Al-Suwaiq clubs. Both teams had been busy preparing for the sixth round of the Omani national championship.
Al-Raqadi had been warming up with his teammate, and then suddenly fell down on the pitch. According to the Omani press, the temperature was above 28 degrees Celsius, and many initially thought he had fainted due to the heat. But the player had been used to playing in high temperatures.
He was transferred to a hospital, but efforts to revive him failed. He passed away from a heart attack. The match was suspended after he was taken to the hospital.
The Egyptian third division club goalkeeper, Ahmed Amin, also passed away after suddenly fainting during training for his team.
According to the digital edition in English of Middle East.in-24, and Ahmed Abdel Aziz, the technical director of the team, Amin had just finished his training session when he collapsed in the locker room. The doctor tried unsuccessfully to revive him and an ambulance was called. At the nearest hospital, doctors again tried to revive him but he died of heart failure only a few hours after the death of Al-Raqadi.
Last Saturday, Algerian footballer Sofiane Loukar also passed away during a match. The 30-year-old defender Loukar had collided with his goalkeeper but was able to resume play. Nine minutes later, Loukar however collapsed according to the Algerian media outlet LibertĂŠ.
The defender showed signs of shortness of breath and had trouble speaking. Attempts to resuscitate him were in vain and he died from heart failure on the way from the stadium to the hospital. His coach expressed incomprehension at his sudden demise: âHis medical history was very good.â
