This week we learned that our video hosting provider, Vimeo, had suspended the David Horowitz Freedom Center after it decided that Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon’s talk was “hate speech”.
Seth Dillon had discussed the Babylon Bee’s fight against censorship after Twitter suspended its account for a joke that named Rick ‘Rachel’ Levine, a transgender Biden administration official, as its ‘Man of the Year’.
That Orwellian act of censorship was described as one of the most “consequential” moments in the anti-woke struggle against Big Tech and helped lead to Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter.
A year after Twitter was ridiculed and then taken over for classifying Babylon Bee’s humor as hate speech, Vimeo sent out a letter announcing “Seth Dillon – The Babylon Bee was removed for Hate Speech.“ The letter refused to name anything hateful that had been said or to specify what in the talk triggered the ban.
Seth Dillon shared our article on X which got a response from Elon Musk. And hundreds of replies and shares from others including by commenters who announced that as a result of Vimeo’s decision, they’re dropping the company. Like Bud-Lite, Vimeo may discover that going woke leads to going broke. With nearly 100,000 views, Musk’s reply and Seth’s original message helped spread the news that Vimeo is a woke company that suppresses free speech.
