Babylon Bee Filing Suit Over New Social Media Law
April 14, 2023 | California
The Babylon Bee, a conservative satire website, is suing California over a social-media law that requires periodic reporting about content categories, terms of service and how the platforms deal with hate speech, so-called disinformation and harassment.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, hailed the law, which takes effect in January 2024 as a win for transparency, but Bee CEO Seth Dillon says it’s an effort to silence dissenting views.
“California passed an unconstitutional censorship law. We’re suing to stop its enforcement,” Mr. Dillon wrote on Twitter. (Excerpt from The Washington Times.)
