Controversy in the United States after Twitter censorship of a Christian organization

Focus on the Family President Jim Daly responded to the incident on his blog, writing: “As I have noted before, the titans of big technology are the new emperors of the 21st century, and they wield an enormous amount of power by silencing individuals and organizations that do not behave or yield to their political or social point of view ”.

“In recent weeks, high-profile and outspoken people have been banned from social media, including former President Donald Trump and Mike Lindell, CEO and founder of My Pillow. You can now add Focus on the Family’s The Daily Citizen to the rosterDaly continued.

“Last week, Twitter blocked The Daily Citizen for an alleged violation of the rules, specifically because we had posted ‘hateful’ content. It just isn’t true. We did no such thingDaly said.

By pointing out how they simply offered the literal definition of a transgender woman and linked to an article that wasn’t even about Levine’s identity, Daly said: “We have asked Twitter to explain what was wrong with our writing and we even asked them how we could describe Dr. Levine to their liking. At the time of writing this article, we have not received a response, ”the blog details.

“Over the past week, President Biden has been emphasizing the need for unity, but his actions since he took office have to do with demanding uniformity,” Daly observed. “There seems to be no room for disagreement of convictions.”

“Comply or you will be silenced,” he concluded.

Focus on the Family took a firm stand on its views regarding sexuality and gender, writing on its website:

“We believe that God created humans in His image, intentionally and unchangeably male and female, each bringing unique and complementary qualities to sexuality and relationships.. Sexuality is a glorious gift from God offered to you in marriage for procreation, union, and mutual delight, or in celibacy for undivided devotion to Christ. Christians are called to proclaim the truth and beauty of God’s design and redemption from sexual brokenness in our lives and culture through Jesus Christ. “

According to The Daily Citizen, Focus on the Family allies led by the Family Policy Alliance They are gathering support and preparing a petition to send to Twitter.
