We have fallen victim to ideological censorship!

Ladies and gentlemen,

Please read carefully what I will compose below. We request your urgent help.

Last year's survey on the activities of the Center for Life and household said that the most crucial form of fulfilling our mission should be active activity in social media and the net – reaching thousands of net users with good content, revealing truth, formation, moving graphics.

We took this indication to the heart and spent the full year putting quite a few effort into action in virtual space, specifically developing our Facebook profile. Thanks to many campaigns, it has been observed and began to keep track of what we are doing, over 66,000 users. It went on to over 10,000,000 (yes, millions!) views!

Today, however, the fruits of this work can be destroyed. We're the victims of net censors.And worst of all, we don't know precisely what for.

This platform has imposed restrictive restrictions on our account in fresh days. The visibility of our content has been drastically reduced.

The reason given to us is to advance slavery, illegal adoption or human trafficking.

That's completely absurd!

In a moment, I will describe to you in item what the problem is, but first I would like to stress clearly: specified restrictions can completely destruct our work. They do not let us to scope fresh users, and those who regularly visit our account make it much harder to receive our posts.

Today's presence on the Internet, and especially on social media, is the basis of a social organization. Without the chance to scope our mission and to communicate to the recipients on the Internet, we have no chance of doing business effectively.

That is why we request your urgent consequence - this situation threatens the mission of the Centre of Life and Family!

Although the accusations sound completely absurd, the punishment imposed by Facebook is rather real.

The Life and household Center has been subject to restrictions on the positioning of content. In short: net algorithms work so that erstwhile the user liked the Facebook page of a individual or organization with a profile akin to us, in the proposed pages, which could besides interest him, the website of the Centre appeared. Unfortunately, Now our website will be hidden by algorithms and will no longer appear in proposals.

A akin mechanics has been imposed on our content reaching users who are already watching us. Until now, people who were curious in our posts automatically displayed fresh content we posted. Now that's changed.

Even if users have read our posts regularly so far, they will no longer be passed on by algorithms. Of course, they can inactive be searched. All net developers, however, know perfectly well that if posts do not show themselves automatically to users, users simply forget and halt visiting the profile.

It is clear that specified restrictions can drastically reduce the number of recipients we reach! The content about life defence, matrimony and families that we print all day will no longer show up to Facebook users, and it will be almost impossible to scope fresh audiences!

But there's something else: Facebook “punished” besides straight our associatewho administered the Life and household Center profile and published posts there. His account has been deleted from the platform!

This is simply a large individual failure for him – he lost a crucial part of his work together with his account. Moreover, it is not possible to re-establish an account on your data.

We're being punished! But the most shocking thing is that we got it for allegedly promoting phenomena that we were actually clearly criticizing!

I mentioned that the full explanation we received from Facebook is at least curiosal.

The reason for imposing restrictions on us is due to the fact that it is expected to advance slavery, illegal adoption and trafficking in human beings.

You admit that this sounds unbelievable! After all, we are active in protecting life from conception to natural death, protecting the identity of matrimony and fighting for the rights of families and parents, and we print specified content on our profiles on social media.

We were amazed to find out that specified improbable accusations were being made against us!

Of course, we immediately began searching our Facebook profile for content that could be considered to advance slavery, illegal adoption or human trafficking.

And... we found something.

Three years ago, on the Life and household Center profile, we released an article from the March.info website, which was about slavery. But it was absolutely not his praise!

The content describes the appalling scale of this, inactive common in any parts of the world, especially for women and children. Clearly, the article was a condemnation of slavery and could not be read differently. However, we believe that this text may have become an excuse for imposing restrictions on us and limiting our profile's visibility.

That's right. An excuse. What is truly the cause? We can only guess.

Life and household Center website on Facebook platform for years collected Over 66,000 followers. That's how many people we print all day, showing the value of marriage, the dignity of all human life from conception and clearly defending the rights of families, as well as encouraging the organization and participation in the Marches for Life and Family.

And possibly that's the key to the riddle.

We are, as far as I know, the largest profile in Europe promoting Marches for Life and Family, and thus 1 of the largest in the world.

For comparison, the British March profile for Life has 10,000 followers. The German or Spanish side gathered just over 2,000 of them and French side – 14 thousand.

Therefore, I dare to presume that the real reasons for limiting our Facebook visibility may be completely different from authoritative ones.

After all, cutting the scope of our profile will not block the promotion of slavery, but will undoubtedly affect the visibility of pro-life and pro-family content on the Internet. The March Initiative for Life and household can be peculiarly weak, and at this very time, we are starting preparations for this year's march season, which I have written about recently.

It will surely besides hit the effectiveness of our campaigns to defend matrimony and family. I've just informed you how much emotion our posts give us to show that the introduction of alleged partnerships or the position of a loved 1 ends in allowing same-sex couples to adopt. What happens now? Thousands of netizens – thousands of Poles – will be able to live peacefully in the belief that this bill is about “visiting hospitals” couples surviving in a concubinet...

I have no uncertainty that the Facebook platform is not a taste for the activity of websites like ours. Meta (owner of Facebook and Instagram) openly declares support for LGBTQ+ community, inter alia, through circumstantial “security policies”, protection against “hate speech” and tools to advance inclusiveness on their platforms.

The worldview line of this average is rather apparent and widely known. The owner of Meta Mark Zuckerberg officially admitted any time ago that for at least a fewer years the platform had blocked conservative content.

It so seems that Facebook is utilizing an unclean game against us, on absolutely unwarranted charges of destroying our long-standing achievements and thus censoring content promoting life and household on the Internet!

In view of specified absurd allegations, we cannot passively wait for further developments.

This can be disastrous for us: we are on censorship and every, even the smallest, "infraction" may end our presence on the largest social platform.

We have, of course, utilized possible appeal paths – unfortunately without results. Nothing to explain that the charges against us are unfounded. Restrictions on our profile have not been removed, and in addition, the man who lived on social media service was deprived of work.

But this blow does not strike us: we do not intend to quit telling the fact about the dignity of human life, the identity of matrimony and household or ideological threats!

At the moment, however, we are operating in conditions that importantly limit our capabilities. Even though the content promotion on Facebook is actually closed to us. Social advertising is subject to strict restrictions.

I think you are aware of how much this makes it hard for us to scope possible fresh audiences and thus to influence public opinion.

In this situation we besides want to make another channels of communication (e.g. in another social media), another forms of online promotion (especially paid advertisements on websites) or even another – non-virtual – forms of reaching the public. Only in this way will we be able to advance our message in case our Facebook profile is subject to further restrictions or – even worse – removed. And that's a real anticipation we evidently gotta deal with.

Therefore, in this highly hard situation for us, delight aid us urgently! We cannot agree that the largest social platforms, which are de facto governing the political and social message and forming public opinion today, will shut our mouth.

Today we request to guarantee that a clear message about the value of life, matrimony and household rights is present in the net and social media, but we request your support very much.

What's the scale? In order to scope more than 66,000 users so effectively, we only had to spend about 50,000 PLN last year to advance and advertise. Now, of course, we will no longer pay Facebook, but in order to scope the next thousands, we will gotta bear at least half of these expenditures.

Going out with a message about the value of life and household to Poles will not happen in today's reality without utilizing the Internet. It is simply a valuable tool, especially in getting attention from young people who may otherwise not find specified content.

See: left-wing organisations operate in social media, promoting the LGBT ideological agenda, as well as organisations that openly support abortion and even enable it to be achieved!

Facebook has for years been incapable (or possibly it just doesn't want to?) to deal with the Abortive Dream Team, an organization that advertises itself as helping abortions, which is in clear conflict with Polish law. Meanwhile, restrictions are imposed on our profile, supported by completely absurd allegations, and appeals against this unfair decision are simply ignored!

It's apparent to me that there are quite a few people online who want to destruct us.. The heyt we experience with our actions is huge. But it's no wonder: we talk about uncomfortable topics, we talk about what others would like to stay silent, and others would alternatively shout.

Opposition to partnerships and the demolition of marriage, showing the fact about the cruelty of abortion, exposing the ideology of schools led by current power. Sure, all of this could make our opponents furious.

However, we cannot agree to specified ideological censorship!

It's no longer the actions of individual netizens who bombard us with names and mock us due to the fact that they don't like our message. It's the actions of a digital giant who punishes us for something we haven't done.

We can't just shut up!

A voice in defence of the dignity of life, the value of matrimony and household rights must besides take place in virtual space.

I am counting on your aid in this matter!
