Extreme-Left Twitter denied the Christian satire site The Babylon Bee’s appeal on Wednesday after it had its account locked down over a joke calling the transgender HHS assistant secretary Dr. Rachel Levine a “man.”
“The Babylon Bee’s Man of the Year is Rachel Levine,” said the headline.
Twitter then locked the satire site’s account for 12 hours on the condition they delete the tweet, alleging it violates the platform’s “hateful conduct” policy. Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon said they will not cave to Twitter’s demands. “We’re told our account will be restored in 12 hours, but the countdown won’t begin until we delete the tweet that violates the Twitter Rules,” Dillon said. “We’re not deleting anything. Truth is not hate speech. If the cost of telling the truth is the loss of our Twitter account, then so be it.”
Twitter ramped up its censoring spree when it later locked Babylon Bee editor-in-chief, Kyle Mann, and Babylon Bee founder, Adam Ford, from their respective accounts. Kyle Mann announced on Wednesday the lockdown had been lifted.
