Pastor Steven Andrew, a popular minister reaching as many as 8 million people per month on Facebook, is experiencing one of the greatest cases of censorship, with an estimated 99% shadow ban on August 20. A post thanking President Trump, with “In God We Trust,” was blocked 100%. Andrew contacted Facebook on August 10 and asked them to stop censoring him. This was Andrew’s fourth attempt to resolve the issue. Facebook responded, “Thanks…” and ignored the censorship of Christianity. They restrict Bible verses, praying for government, pictures of George Washington and honoring President Trump.
