Deletion of Core Issues Trust (CIT) Facebook Page

Feb 18, 2021 by

from Core Issues Trust:

Without warning, Facebook has permanently deleted the Core Issues Trust page, claiming that the charity is in breach of its community standards.  Since June 2020, the page has received repeated, malicious interference from LGBT activists who will not recognise those who formerly identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered. During this time, Facebook did not act in response to the vile language, explicit imagery and threats against the charity and its employees, even though their personal safety has been put at risk.

In 2014, the Court of Appeal found in the charity’s favour against the Mayor of London (CIT vs Transport for London and Another) with regard to discrimination. The Court held that under the Equality Act 2010, former LGBT identified persons are protected against discrimination:

Discrimination against a person because of his or her past actual or perceived sexual orientation, or because his or her sexual orientation has changed, is discrimination “because of…sexual orientation”.[1]

We call on fair-minded politicians, to review the unfair practices of Facebook in removing entirely legal viewpoints, that do not accord with that organisation’s political ethos. Unpublishing pages and deleting all private ongoing communications and content, is unacceptable. Our organisation has been bullied consistently and subjected to false allegations that it engages in “conversion therapy”, in part the result of careless statements from politicians and activists. This is entirely false. At the time the campaign against us was reported to the Petitions Committee: Submissions for written evidence – online abuse, in Serious Incident reports to the Charity Commission of Northern Ireland and to the Northern Ireland Police (PSNI).
