Friends,
=20
Not long ago, Elon Musk bought Twitter, changed his bio to Chief Twit, and =
sent me a DM that said: =E2=80=9CDo you want the Babylon Bee restored? Ther=
e will be no censorship of humor.=E2=80=9D=20

<[link removed]
gn=3DSPO52838>

We've been trying to think of a joke worth $44 billion ever since.
=20
But as resourceful and committed to free speech as he is, Musk is still jus=
t one man, and X is just one platform. Censorship remains the law of the la=
nd on virtually every other social media site run by Big Tech. X is a welco=
me but rare exception. Just a couple of months ago, I was notified that the=
conservative David Horowitz Freedom Center was permanently suspended by Vi=
meo for posting a talk I'd given about censorship. Just think about the iro=
ny of that for a second. As if they wanted to make my point for me more emp=
hatically than I ever could, they censored my talk about censorship.=20
=20
It=E2=80=99s clear to us that what the censors want is submission. They wan=
t unquestioning conformity. They want us to give up and stop fighting. Stop=
telling jokes. Stop telling the truth. They want to raise the cost of spea=
king freely so high that we'd rather just keep our mouths shut to avoid all=
the hassle and penalties. They=E2=80=99re asking us if we=E2=80=99re willi=
ng to silence ourselves just to make things easier.
=20
Our answer to that is NO. The truth is worth it. Free speech is worth more =
than whatever they can take from us.
=20
Of course, that's easier said than done. Standing against the censorious Le=
ft takes resources. I can tell you right now, The Babylon Bee would not hav=
e been able to take the stand that we did against Twitter if it hadn't been=
for the support of our subscribers.
=20
That's our safety net. That's what gives us the confidence to fight back ag=
ainst big tech without being afraid of them putting us out of business. The=
y can hurt us. Sure, they can reduce our reach and smear us in the media, b=
ut they can't shut us down. We have our supporters to thank for that. I hop=
e you'll consider joining the fight by becoming a paid subscriber to the Ba=
bylon Bee.=20

<[link removed]
gn=3DSPO52838>
=20
But don't just support us. Support defenders of freedom wherever you find t=
hem. Subscribe to X Premium to support Elon. Ditch Disney and subscribe to =
the Daily Wire. Back anyone bold enough to say what's true, even if it come=
s at a cost. Especially if it comes at a cost. They'll be that much more fe=
arless and that much harder to stop if they have a whole army of freedom-lo=
ving subscribers at their backs.

YES, I'LL STAND WITH THE BEE <[link removed]

Friends,

Not long ago, Elon Musk bought Twitter, changed his bio to Chief Twit, and sent me a DM that said: “Do you want the Babylon Bee restored? There will be no censorship of humor.”

<[link removed]>

We've been trying to think of a joke worth $44 billion ever since.

But as resourceful and committed to free speech as he is, Musk is still just one man, and X is just one platform. Censorship remains the law of the land on virtually every other social media site run by Big Tech. X is a welcome but rare exception. Just a couple of months ago, I was notified that the conservative David Horowitz Freedom Center was permanently suspended by Vimeo for posting a talk I'd given about censorship. Just think about the irony of that for a second. As if they wanted to make my point for me more emphatically than I ever could, they censored my talk about censorship.

It’s clear to us that what the censors want is submission. They want unquestioning conformity. They want us to give up and stop fighting. Stop telling jokes. Stop telling the truth. They want to raise the cost of speaking freely so high that we'd rather just keep our mouths shut to avoid all the hassle and penalties. They’re asking us if we’re willing to silence ourselves just to make things easier.

Our answer to that is NO. The truth is worth it. Free speech is worth more than whatever they can take from us.

Of course, that's easier said than done. Standing against the censorious Left takes resources. I can tell you right now, The Babylon Bee would not have been able to take the stand that we did against Twitter if it hadn't been for the support of our subscribers.

That's our safety net. That's what gives us the confidence to fight back against big tech without being afraid of them putting us out of business. They can hurt us. Sure, they can reduce our reach and smear us in the media, but they can't shut us down. We have our supporters to thank for that. I hope you'll consider joining the fight by becoming a paid subscriber to the Babylon Bee.

<[link removed]>

But don't just support us. Support defenders of freedom wherever you find them. Subscribe to X Premium to support Elon. Ditch Disney and subscribe to the Daily Wire. Back anyone bold enough to say what's true, even if it comes at a cost. Especially if it comes at a cost. They'll be that much more fearless and that much harder to stop if they have a whole army of freedom-loving subscribers at their backs.

YES, I'LL STAND WITH THE BEE <[link removed]>

Thanks for standing with us. We will continue to stand with you.

Sincerely,
Seth Dillon
CEO, The Babylon Bee
