What Happened To AFC’s Platform
On October 17, 2013 Afrocentric Films Collaborative (AFC) was created in Oakland, California with the mission to promote positive images and stories centered on Black culture and the global African Diaspora through film, media, and news. Over the last six years AFC operated exclusively on Facebook as a Black owned business and popular social media platform for Pan African culture amassing a popular following with class and dignity. In 2019 AFC reached 8 to 15 million people weekly and had nearly a million followers on Facebook. While we have many supporters from many backgrounds, walks of life and ethnicities it was clear from the beginning that a very racist element on Facebook did not like our content that highlighted people of African descent and wanted to silence us by any means necessary.
Well, on September 17th six days after 9/11 AFC was hacked by white extremist who posted images and videos that went against Facebook’s Community Standards and got AFC’s admins personal accounts disabled and the platform unpublished by Facebook! This was an intentional attack to censor Black voices on Facebook who promoted Black culture with dignity, class, and integrity and instead of Facebook helping us out they decided to ignore our evidence and appeals to resolve this serious situation!
We believe from our uplifting post and organic reach we were intentionally hacked by someone who may be connected to white extremist groups or a white nationalist hate group located in Kosovo. We have never approved any from that location to manage AFC’s platform!
Nevertheless, our page was still unpublished without a chance to even speak to a customer service representative or customer care because Facebook does not have a dedicated customer service line! This is a very serious cybercrime against a cultural page and we received the short end of the stick!
