Fellow Free Speech Lover,




This is Seth Dillon, CEO of the Babylon Bee.



Whether you’ve seen me on Tucker Carlson’s show, or if you’ve come across our
biting satire online, you probably know that, despite jokes being our bread and
butter, The Babylon Bee takes free speech and fighting censorship seriously.

That is why we’ve filed a lawsuit against California’s Attorney General to
stop the enforcement of its new censorship law.



If you care about protecting free speech and your right to push back against
radical ideology online, then the Bee needs your support in this fight.



I hope you’ll consider standing with us today by becoming a Babylon Bee
subscriber.

The state of California passed a law in 2022 that imposes new regulations on
social media companies. This law, AB 587, requires companies to give the
California Attorney General’s Office regular reports regarding disinformation,
misinformation, extremism, radicalization, and hate speech. The law allows the
state to impose fines if companies do not comply with these reporting
regulations.



You may be asking, “Isn’t controlling misinformation and hate speech online a
good thing?”



The truth of the matter is that the government and Big Tech companies working
together to control what everyone is allowed to say is a bad thing. A good
thing is when everyone is allowed to speak freely. Not everyone’s definitions
of “misinformation” or “hate speech” are the same.



In the case of our work at The Babylon Bee, jokes and satire are often
incorrectly cited as examples of misinformation or hateful conduct by
organizations and government agencies who think our views don’t fit their
prescribed narrative. When people in power don’t like what you have to say,
they can use that power to categorize your speech as “hateful,” even if what
you’re saying is factually accurate.

This law is not about keeping social media companies transparent — it’s about
censorship.



The state of California, along with other government entities and Big Tech
firms, is seeking to use censorship to protect their preferred narrative. We
believe this is a violation of the First Amendment and we — along with our
co-plaintiffs Tim Pool and Minds — are taking California to court to fight it.



In times like these, your support is crucial.

If you have not taken the step to become a paid supporter of The Babylon Bee,
now is the time.



Each paid member helps us keep fighting these attempts to control what we can
and can’t say. Free speech — even when it comes to satire and jokes — is a
vital pillar of our nation.



Standing up for this fundamental right is something we will never back away
from -- and thousands of free speech-loving Americans have shown us that
they’re ready to do the same.



Are you one of them? If so, I hope you’ll click here to view our subscription
plans and sign up to offer your support.

With your help, we will continue fighting these battles in and out of the
courtroom, in any way we can.
