SHOCK: Facebook Declares War on the Babylon Bee
 [PJMEDIA] On Tuesday, Facebook stood by its decision to demonetize the Christian satire site The Babylon Bee over a satire article regurgitating a witch joke from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Facebook claimed that the article "Senator Hirono Demands ACB Be Weighed Against A Duck To See If She Is A Witch" actually "incites violence." The social media platform demanded that the Babylon Bee edit the article and not speak publicly about the review, but Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon went public."So after a manual review, Facebook says they stand by their decision to pull down this article and demonetize our page. I'm not kidding. They say this article ‘incites violence,'" Dillon tweeted. "It's literally a regurgitated joke from a Monty Python movie!" "In what universe does a fictional quote as part of an obvious joke constitute a genuine incitement to violence?" the CEO asked. "How does context not come into play here? They're asking us to edit the article and not speak publicly about internal content reviews. Oops, did I just tweet this?" Posted by: Mullah Richard 2020-10-22 |
