Facebook and YouTube controversy



On July 18, 2013, Kirk Cameron posted a picture to Facebook asking his fans to petition Facebook to stop censoring links to the movie's website. He said, "Calling all friends of Faith, Family, and Freedom! Facebook has officially 'blocked' me and you (and everyone else) from posting any link to my new movie at UnstoppableTheMovieDOTcom." More than 300,000 people shared the picture. The story spread to numerous media outlets such as CBS, ABC and 'Entertainment Tonight'. The link was reinstated soon thereafter.

A spokesperson for Facebook stated that the site "was blocked for a very short period of time after being misidentified as a potential spam or malware site. We learn from rare cases such as these to make our systems even better." Michael Kirkland, communications manager of Facebook, made the following statement to 'The Christian Post': "From what we can tell, the address purchased for the movie was previously being used as a spam site and it hadn't been refreshed in our system yet. We were in direct contact with Kirk's team on this and reversed the block as soon as we confirmed that the address was no longer being used for spam."

Soon after the link was unblocked on Facebook, a teaser trailer for 'Unstoppable' was blocked on YouTube. It was replaced by a message warning that, "This video has been removed as a violation of YouTube's policy against spam, scams, and commercially deceptive content." YouTube later removed the block after outcries of censorship from fans and media outlets. Representatives for YouTube did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
