On Thursday, the online marketing software company, Mailchimp, suspended the Babylon Bee satire site from the platform, claiming that the system detected “harmful information” in the Bee’s emails.
PJ Media reports:
“I’d email everyone to let them know [Mailchimp] just suspended our account but Mailchimp just suspended our account,” Dillon announced on Twitter. Like many other companies, The Babylon Bee uses Mailchimp to send out emails to its broad email list. Without Mailchimp, the Bee could not tell its subscribers that Mailchimp had suspended the satire site.
Shortly after Dillon shared the news on Twitter, Mailchimp responded, saying that the company had reinstated the account.
Hey Seth. We got this in front of our Compliance team and they’ve reinstated the account. Our team followed up in an email with more details. We apologize for the inconvenience.

“Thank you, but we’re moving to an email service provider that doesn’t make these ‘mistakes.’ We’d also prefer to be on a platform that doesn’t censor conservatives for being ‘hateful’ or ‘misinformative,’” the CEO responded.

The censorship by Mailchimp is just the latest example of de-platforming of conservative and Christian accounts while other liberal accounts remain largely unrestricted.
Stop with this bull of censoring we conservatives. What a bunch of hateful scum bags.
This shit has got to stop….when are WE THE PEOPLE going to wake up and realize that WE hold the purse strings? We need to band together and put forth a concerted effort and BOYCOTT these people. Why is it that these miscreants can get together and go to your local senators house at 3 in the morning to send their messages…besides the fact that they have no jobs to go to sleep for? We have the jobs, we pay the salaries and taxes…Wake up get woke and use their tactics against them.
You are right Doug. We have been docile far to long. We need to do what the left is fearful of us doing and show some gonads. We will continue to be abused as long as we allow them to do it.
I so look forward to your emails. This censoring of words and thoughts is so frightening. Please never give up. Babylon Bee is a bright light in a sea fo darkness and fear.
Congrats to Babylon Bee for sticking to its purpose and beliefs. Nothing like showing some spine to all those WOKE nut jobs.
I don’t support/use ANY of these socialist platforms Fucbook Twatter, instacrap, – REAL AMERICANS should just SAY NO to these ASSHOLE COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA MOUTHPIECE COMPANIES— otherwise we aren’t doing not one damned thing to STOP it 😡😡 . GET BUSY DOING ••SOMETHING•• !!!!!!!!!
what a stupid article–doesn’t een identify what the alleged censorship was based on. Fact-free, per usual
Seth Dillon handled this appropriately and righteously. I applaud his spine and principles. We need more like him. I suspect that the EM service in question is populated by a bunch of servile lickspittles who will cowardly kowtow to the MOB.
