Twitter Suspends Babylon Bee Editor in Chief for Mocking …

Posted: March 29, 2022 at 1:42 pm

The editor-in-chief of the Babylon Bee, the popular conservative-run satirical website, has been locked out of his Twitter account after mocking the platform for allowing Chinese officials involved in abuses against the countrys Uighur minority on the platform while conservatives are censored.

Maybe theyll let us back into our @TheBabylonBee Twitter account if we throw a few thousand Uighurs into concentration camps, quipped editor-in-chief Kyle Mann yesterday morning.

As of today, Mann is locked out of his Twitter account over the tweet, which the left-wing Big Tech platform calls hateful conduct.

The censorship of the websites editor-in-chief follows the lockdown of its official account, which occurred after it pointed out the biological gender of the Biden Administrations Health & Human Services secretary, Rachel Levine.

As reported by Breitbart News Paul Bois:

Christian satire site the Babylon Bee has remained defiant 24 hours after Twitter locked its account for calling the transgender HHS assistant secretary Dr. Rachel Levine a man.

On Sunday, the Babylon Bee was sentenced to Twitter jail over an article mocking USA Today for recently declaring the biological male Rachel Levine a woman of the year.

The Babylon Bees Man of the Year is Rachel Levine, said the headline.

Twitter then locked the satire sites account for 12 hours on the condition that they delete the tweet, alleging it violates the platforms hateful conduct policy. Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon said they will not cave to Twitters demands.

Not The Bee, a non-satirical news website associated with the Babylon Bee, said they would fight the censorship, pointing out the influence the platform has over current events.

You may think its easy to just ignore Twitter, but remember that its a major outlet that influences news, education, and literal law around the world. Its also a major revenue stream for many businesses who are forced into the Big Tech marketing system to stay afloat.Its worth fighting against discriminatory policies on platforms that claim to be the new public square.And The Bee is gonna fight.

This is not the first time that the Babylon Bee has tangled with Silicon Valleys far-left censors. As Breitbart News previously reported, Facebook has also repeatedly censored the satirical website for poking fun at the left.

Breitbart News has reached out to Twitter for comment.
