Claimed an announcement about a new service was \u2018indoctrination\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hulu streaming service has abruptly reversed itself, doing a 180 when confronted about its decision to censor a Texas church\u2019s advertisement.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Dys, senior counsel for First Liberty Institute, confirmed, \u201cWe are grateful to Hulu for its quick response to our demand letter and for accepting Hulen Street Church\u2019s ad.\u201d<\/p>\n

He pointed out that Hulu, \u201cand others in Big Tech,\u201d could avoid \u201cthese kinds of conflicts by adopting advertising policies that do not discriminate against religious organizations, being transparent about its advertising policy, and applying it fairly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The church serves a \u201csignificant\u201d number of people in Fort Worth, and recognizing that growing numbers work on Sundays, started a Thursday night service.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo advertise its new service time, the church created a 22-second video ad in which Pastor Wes Hamilton extends a short invitation. The church successfully placed its ad through Facebook, Instagram, and Google Ads, but despite seeming to fit Hulu\u2019s announced advertising policy, Hulu originally rejected the ad twice,\u201d First Liberty said.<\/p>\n

A report on the dispute at CBN<\/a> said it previously had reported that Hulen Street Church had accused Hulu of rejecting its ad \u201cover the claim the spot violated policies surrounding \u2018religious indoctrination.’\u201d<\/p>\n

But, Dys noted, such a designation is nowhere in Hulu\u2019s ad policies.<\/p>\n

His organization then delivered a demand letter that encouraged Hulu to recognize and accept religious advertising.<\/p>\n

Dys explained to CBN what had happened: \u201cHulu \u2026 has a bunch of ads that they allow people to put on the platform if you\u2019re an approved advertiser. Hulen Street Church \u2026 decided to open up a new [Thursday] service time for people \u2026 who aren\u2019t able to get to Sunday services, and they wanted to advertise that locally like they\u2019ve done in a lot of other places, and so they became it an approved advertiser. They submitted their ad and it was rejected. They submitted it again, and it was rejected again.\u201d<\/p>\n

The message from the church was anything but controversial, stating, \u201cDoes your work schedule or busy family calendar not allow you to attend church on a Sunday morning? If so, I want to invite you to Thursday nights at Hulen Street Church beginning on February 1st.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hulu, a Disney-owned company, initially claimed the ad involved \u201creligious indoctrination.\u201d<\/p>\n
