Twitter Drops The Censor Hammer on Conservative Voices

This week, Twitter once again dropped their hammer of censorship which landed on three popular conservative accounts––Charlie Kirk of TPUSA, The Babylon Bee, a Christian Satire site, and perhaps most notably, Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
The tweets in question all had the same theme––human biology.
On Monday, The Babylon Bee was the first of the three to be hit by Twitter’s censorship hammer for posting their well-known satirical flavored commentary on Rachel Levine’s gender.

Not only were they censored, but the account has also been suspended. The account suspension was soon to be defied by Babylon Bee’s founder and CEO, Adam Ford, with a satirical video plea to “not signup” for membership plans shared on other social media platforms like Facebook.

Charlie Kirk followed up the next day by sharing a related post on Twitter. He received the same result in having his account banned. Kirk released a press statement Wednesday on TPUSA‘s site saying, “Yesterday, I was banned on Twitter for stating a plainly accurate and scientifically sound biological truth about “Rachel” Levine. My ability to communicate with 1.7 million Twitter followers was canceled for stating facts. I wasn’t the only victim of this type of digital assassination, though. Babylon Bee had their account suspended as well for posting a similarly true, albeit satirical, commentary on Levine’s gender.”

Tucker Carlson, a popular Fox News host, simply pointed out that the Babylon Bee and Charlie Kirk tweets containing basic facts about human biology were accurate. Twitter has since banned Tucker as well.
Twitter’s new CEO, Parag Agrawal, who has expressed his stance on the First Amendment, posted on March 16th referring to “having a responsibility––particularly during crisis––to:
– Proactively enforce our rules – Preserve access to @Twitter
– Protect privacy+safety of people on our service
– Prevent efforts to manipulate public conversation
– Promote credible information”
The context of his post appears to have been, in part, a reference to the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

Tucker later covered Twitter CEO’s beliefs on what Americans should be allowed to discuss during his nightly show on Fox News.
