Social media has given the Hindus their lost voice. However, it has been noticed that over the last few months, Facebook has been steadily going after the Hindus to try and stifle them. A few months ago, Facebook had arbitrarily deleted the pages and profiles of various Hindu organizations and Hindu leaders, including that of Sanatan Sanstha, Sanatan Prabhat, Sudarshan TV, Suresh Chavanke, BJP MP T Rajasingh and Sanatan Shop. Now Facebook has targeted and shut down the pages of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, which were used to inform and educate people on matters related to the nation and Dharma. Facebook continues to allow pages related to Dr Zakir Naik, PFI and Azad Maidan riot accused Raza Academy to function freely, while curbing those pages speaking up for Hindu rights.
To oppose double standards of Facebook, devout Hindus took to Twitter with hashtag #Facebook_Targets_HJS. More than 70,000 tweets were tweeted by Hindus in just a matter of few hours and the hashtag became one of the top 10 national trends on Twitter in India. The trend was at 3rd spot for around 2 hours and was trending in top 10 for several hours. Many Hindus also protested against Facebook with ##Facebook_Suppress_Hindu_Voices.
Here are some of the tweets from the trend :
International media such as the @WSJ, @TIME and @Facebook have an alliance. This alliance is running anti Hindu agenda in India.
Banning pages of Hindu organizations is part of this conspiracy. So the Indian government should ban Facebook. #Facebook_Targets_HJS@sanatanprabhat pic.twitter.com/KbbMBidMRR— Chetan Rajhans © (@1chetanrajhans) June 12, 2021

पिछले कुछ महिनों में यह ध्यान में आया है कि ‘फेसबूक’ सोशल मीडीया पर बुलंद हो रही हिन्दूओं की आवाज पर रोक लगा रहा है । सनातन संस्था, सनातन प्रभात,, सुदर्शन, मेरे, टी राजासिंह आदि हिन्दू संगठन तथा हिन्दुत्वनिष्ठों के पेजेस को फेसबूक ने निकाल दिये #Facebook_Suppress_Hindu_Voices

Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, Sanatan Prabhat & Sanatan Sanstha have sought an explanation from Facebook after the latter removed HJS's ‘Hindu Adhiveshan’, Sanatan Prabhat’s ‘Sanatan Prabhat’& ‘Sanatan Shop’ pages without citing any reason. #Facebook_Targets_HJS@Facebook pic.twitter.com/Pm7D7GxsAm
