Digital Prayer Book
Case #
2137

Instagram fact checks the Lord's Prayer with the claim that Facebook does not censor the Lord's Prayer: The small Instagram page @digitalprayerbook posted a painting of a church and its grounds that was captioned with only The Lord's Prayer. However, the words "The Lord's Prayer" and the prayer itself triggered Instagram's fact-checking algorithm because of a popular rumor that posting The Lord's Prayer violates Facebook policies. In the fact check article, AFP explains that Facebook's Community Standards makes no mention of the prayer and that posting the prayer does not violate any Facebook rules. Posts with fact-check lose exposure on Facebook feeds as they are negatively affected by the platform's algorithm. According to Facebook, users fail to click through a fact-check interstitial to see the post 95% of the time.
