No wonder that Facebook's Mark (of the best) Zuckerberg is envisioning a future where Facebook replaces the traditional religions:

"Speaking to an audience made up of administrators of popular Facebook groups, Zuckerberg announced a goal to connect 1 billion people via groups and encouraged the administrators to invite and care for people in theirs — much like clergy do.

“As I’ve traveled around and learned about different places, one theme is clear: Every great community has great leaders,” he said.

“Think about it. A church doesn’t just come together. It has a pastor who cares for the well-being of their congregation, makes sure they have food and shelter. A Little League team has a coach who motivates the kids and helps them hit better. Leaders set the culture, inspire us, give us a safety net and look out for us.”

In Poland, Facebook closed down 350 websites for writing a content such as "a boy, a girl - a normal family" (but der Gruppenführer und Generalleutnant der Facebook Mark Zuckerschwein is fine with the following content: "one would have to kill Jaroslaw Kaczynski").
