Babylon Bee defiant after Twitter locks account naming Rachel Levine 'Man of year

[dukkha]

The Christian satire site The Babylon Bee is refusing to back down after Twitter locked its account over a tweet naming U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Rachel Levine the satire site's "Man of the Year" for 2022.

"I just received this notice that we’ve been locked out of our account for ‘hateful conduct,’" Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon wrote on Twitter, sharing a screenshot of the social media platform's notice that the Bee's account had been suspended.

"Hi The Babylon Bee, Your account, @TheBabylonBee has been locked for violating the Twitter Rules," the message reads.

In suspending the Bee's account, Twitter cited its rules against "hateful conduct," which state, "You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease."
Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon said his satirical news site is "punching back" amid censorship attempts from the left.

We're not deleting anything," Dillon added. "Truth is not hate speech. If the cost of telling the truth is the loss of our Twitter account, then so be it."

The Babylon Bee CEO listed some ways that people "can help" his cause.

Hmm... So is the Babylon Bee a satire site or not? Its CEO is either trolling Fox or admitting that they didn't post this as satire which would mean they clearly violated Twitter's policy.
