The founder of the Babylon Bee explained his reasoning for refusing to delete a satirical tweet about transgender admiral Rachel Levine in a new interview.
$44 billion buyout of Twitter to allow The Babylon Bee — a huge presence on the platform with over 2 million followers — to receive its full account privileges back.
"We’ll give up Twitter for this purpose because if nobody ever does that then they just maintain this control over you. They maintain control over discourse. They can force you to say that 2 and 2 make 5 instead of 4 or they can force you to be quiet if you insist that 2 and 2 make 4." But it’s not just Twitter executives that threaten free speech, Dillon explained. He also called on other business leaders and free speech advocates to stop apologizing for telling the truth, even in the face of public pressure.
He added that"self-censorship" would only make discourse worse:"The more we silence ourselves or suppress our own voice, the more power we give to the people who want to censor us."
