The Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon announced plans for the satirical site to sue the California attorney general over a social media bill passed in September.
Seth Dillon revealed in a Substack article on Wednesday that his site, among others, is suing California Attorney General Rob Bonta, D, to prevent the enforcement of a social media law passed last year.
"They’re claiming it’s just about ‘transparency.’ That’s not true. This is a censorship bill, not a transparency bill," Dillon wrote. He cited a quote from Newsom reading,"California will not stand by as social media is weaponized to spread hate and disinformation that threaten our communities and foundational values as a country."
"It’s a good thing when people are allowed to speak freely. It’s a bad thing when Big Tech and the government work together to decide what we’re allowed to say. Why? Because they often get it wrong. Even worse, they get it wrong on purpose. As I said in my testimony before Congress, censorship guards the narrative, not the truth. In fact, it guards the narrative at the expense of the truth," Dillon wrote.
