Facebook apologizes for temporarily banning Franklin Graham

The site banned the evangelist for 24 hours over a 2016 post about North Carolina's House Bill 2.

Facebook is apologizing to  Franklin Graham after he was kicked off of the social media site due to a 2-year-old post. 

The site banned the evangelist for 24 hours over a 2016 post about North Carolina's House Bill 2, commonly known as the the bathroom bill.

In the aforementioned post, he discussed Bruce Springsteen canceling a North Carolina concert because of the bill.

Facebook originally said the post went against their community standards on hate speech. 

Thank you to Facebook for the apology, the admission that my April 9, 2016 post didn't go against your Community Standards, and the corrective action taken.

The site now says they made a mistake, and apologized to Graham.
