Facebook has lifted its ban on the trailer to Kirk Cameron's new film "Unstoppable" after the actor blew the whistle on the social media giant.
The movie, which was made in partnership with Liberty University, addresses why God allows bad things to happen to good people. According to the "Fireproof" star, the social media giant labeled his posts "abusive, unsafe and spammy."
"This is my most personal film about faith, hope, and love, and about why God allows bad things to happen to good people. What is 'abusive' or 'unsafe' about that?!" Cameron challenged.
Cameron fought back, calling all "friends of faith, family, and freedom" to rally behind him. Supporters responded to his call-to-action in droves, with 250,000 fans sharing the actor's post.
Finally, on Thursday, Facebook relented and lifted the ban. YouTube, who'd also blocked the trailer, soon followed suit.
"Victory!! Friends, you did it!" Cameron wrote in a follow-up post. "People tried to stop 'Unstoppable' on Facebook, and because millions of us joined together as one voice, Facebook has apologized and welcomed us back!"
"You all just demonstrated to the press (they're all calling me to talk about your amazing response!) that the communities of faith, hope, and love are, well ... unstoppable," he said.
"Unstoppable" is scheduled to appear in theaters Sept. 24.?
