Facebook to Apologise for Banning Christian Evangelist in US

After being accused of censoring free speech, Facebook is apologizing for banning a Christian evangelist in the US from posting on the social network for a day last week, a media report said.

Calling the decision to ban Franklin Graham for a 2016 post, Facebook has restored the post, The Charlotte Observer reported on Saturday.

Graham said he was banned for a post about North Carolina’s House Bill 2, also known as the bathroom bill. Facebook said the post went against their “community standards on hate speech.”

In his 2016 post, Graham targeted singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen for canceling a North Carolina concert because of House Bill 2. A Facebook spokesperson told The Charlotte Observer, that the social network will aapologizein a note to the administrator of Graham’s Facebook page.
