Facebook Bans The Babylon Bee For Being Too Accurate
Babylon Bee ^ | 10/15/2020 | Babylon Bee

MENLO PARK, CA—In an attempt to stop the spread of real news on the platform, Facebook has banned The Babylon Bee.

While many social media networks are struggling with slowing the spread of fake news, Facebook is suffering from the opposite problem. People are sharing jokes thinking they are just funny, fake stories, but then they are finding out that they are closer to the truth than any Fox News or CNN article.

"The Babylon Bee claims to be satire, but their articles keep coming true. It's a clear case of false advertising," said Mark Zuckerberg. "We can't allow a news source this pure, this true, this perfect from infiltrating our platform and actually telling the people the truth."

Facebook SWAT teams showed up at The Babylon Bee's offices and took our editors into custody for reeducation. We do not think it is going to work, as we will resist any attempts to brainwash us, and also, Mark Zuckerberg is an upstanding citizen and an important contributor to society.

It's about time. They finally busted this group masquerading as a satire site. How dare they pull the wool over our eyes. Article after article I get snookered every time. Finally justice is served.

If you post this to Face Book I wonder if they’ll flag it for not being true?

We all know Lebron James pays more respect to Justice Ginzberg by wearing a doily over his jersey than Trump ever will. /s

Facebook SWAT teams..lol

For me, the Bee is hit or miss.

But when it hits, it’s usually in a big way :)

Everybody pushing for a Trump victory should have a Facebook and Twitter account it has, unfortunately, become that BIG and influential.

You get banned or suspended but the chances are you’ll get your account back. If you don’t you create another and start again with zero followers and try to build it back up to the 5,000 or 10,000 or more that you lost with your account.

I see this on Twitter all the time. It’s literally a war and one that needs to be won.

These bans and blockings are the equivalent to millions of dollars in contributions to the Biden Campaign and we know what happened to Dinesh D’Souza only with much much less money involved.

A pro-Trump Twitter or Facebook personal account is the equivalent of a legal financial contribution for Trump without having to spend any money.

How do you open up a new account if they banned you?

I’ve never signed up on FB.

A friend signed up with a fake name, and, within days they’d figured out who she was (by pages she visited, etc.) Scary.

FB will probably have the notorious Snopes fact check it.
