Conservative Christian satire site The Babylon Bee has been banned from the Chinese-owned social platform TikTok.
The Babylon Bee’s social media manager posted a screenshot showing that the account had been banned, noting that it occurred with no explanation “and with no option to appeal.”
“[W]elcome to big tech in 2022,” she tweeted.
Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon also mentioned the TikTok ban in a post alongside other recent examples of “tech companies” that “are continuing to censor us.”
Dillon mentioned FrontHQ, an email service provider, and Linktree, a social media reference landing page.
TikTok is owned by Chinese-based ByteDance. “Last year, the Chinese government-owned firm acquired a minority stake in the company’s main subsidiary, Beijing ByteDance Technology,
according to the South China Morning Post,” the Washington Times
reported.
