Arrr! The Babylon Bee be not just a jesting pirate, but a champion of free speech on the seven seas! They be takin' their fight to the highest court to make those scurvy social media scallywags walk the plank of censorship! Aye, me hearties!
Arr, mateys! On February 28, the Supreme Court be settin' sail to hear arguments in two cases from Texas and Florida aimin' to make Big Tech walk the plank of transparency and accountability. These laws be demandin' the social media giants to show their user standards and apply them justly. The Babylon Bee even joined the crew, filin' a brief to warn the court that Big Tech be usin' their vague policies to silence voices that question their ways, especially those with conservative and religious viewpoints.These tech titans have the power to censor, deplatform, or shadow-ban anyone who treads the line they draw in the sand. They claim to be "content-neutral" and "open platforms," but be quick to cut down anything that goes against their rules on "hate" and "misinformation."Examples be plentiful, like when Twitter gave The Bee the black spot for 'hateful conduct' or when Facebook saw 'violence' in a satirical piece about a witch weighin' at a confirmation hearin'. YouTube even called The Bee a "violent criminal organization" for questionin' censorship.This censorship doesn't just affect The Bee, but also faithful Americans whose beliefs clash with Big Tech's. Organizations supportin' traditional marriage or opposin' abortion be walkin' the plank. The laws in Texas and Florida be fightin' this censorship by holdin' Big Tech accountable and bringin' balance to the social media seas. We hope the Supreme Court will see the light and protect the free exchange of ideas online for all.
