Former Twitter censor stands by decision to ban satire site Babylon Bee – “not funny,” “dangerous”
Twitter s former head of trust and safety Yoel Roth stood by the decision to suspend satire website The Babylon Bee for misgendering Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine. A few days ago, Roth said that Twitter made a mistake in suppressing the spread of the Hunter Biden laptop story.
The Babylon Bee was locked out from Twitter earlier this year after it awarded Levine Man of the Year. The account was reinstated after Musk took over Twitter.
Roth told a Knight Foundation panel, that was later released on Kara Swisher s On podcast, that he agreed with banning the satire.
