Brazilian Evangelicals Set Up a "Sin Free" Version of Facebook

Posted by samzenpus on from the keeping-it-clean dept.

An anonymous reader writes: With $16,000 and the help of the Mayor of Ferraz de Vasconcelos, the town he lives in, Atilla Barros and three other Evangelical Christians created Facegloria, a "sin-free" version of Facebook. Swearing is banned, along with about 600 other words, as well as any violent or erotic content, and depictions of homosexual activity. 100,000 users have signed up the first month. "In two years we hope to get to 10 million users in Brazil. In a month we have had 100,000 and in two we are expecting a big increase thanks to a mobile phone app," Barros says. Acir dos Santos, the mayor, adds: "Our network is global. We have bought the Faceglory domain in English and in all possible languages. We want to take on Facebook and Twitter here and everywhere."

    To be fair, Finnish is an impossible language.

      I would have thought that was already a fetish site.

    Sounds a bit like some sort of sexual activity.

      Oh, and by the way, God's Son is God.

      Are you saying that Jesus is his own father, as well as his own son?

      Is it Gods all the way down? ;-)

    I don't think there's any reason to hunt them down.

    they should make an internet of their own.

    RaptureNet

    with pop-up ads that say, "Sinned too much? Stay out of Hell for just 7 easy payments of $49.95 a month! And for an extra $10.00 a month, we won't even tell your church! All diddling, screwing, lying, or cheating can be removed from your heavenly record Now Now Now!"

    Nonononono... Once again you've failed to localise properly. Try this:

    Vocês todos são vacas. Vacas dizer mú. MÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚ! MÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚ! Múúúúú vacas MÚÚÚÚÚ! Múúúú dizer as vacas. VOCÊ VACAS!!
