Censorship remains the law of the land on virtually every other social media

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.”

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 bybecoming a paid subscriber to the Babylon Bee.

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

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



Sincerely,

Seth Dillon
CEO, The Babylon Bee
