The problem is that when leftists and centrist say "censored for conservative views" they think of lower taxes and deregulation, but when conservatives point to examples of which views get censored, it is always "Oh, you know the ones"[1].
The Babylon Bee was suspended for targeted harassment. Harassment is not a conservative view.

- somenameforme 4y agoThis is the article they were indefinitely suspended for posting: https://babylonbee.com/news/the-babylon-bees-man-of-the-year-is-rachel-levine https://babylonbee.com/news/the-babylon-bees-man-of-the-year... That's only "targeted harassment" when redefining words in an arbitrary and disingenuous fashion. The article is not even especially mean hearted, let alone "targeted harassment." And then factor in the fact that the subject is a high ranking and public political figure on top of all of this.
- slg 4y ago>The article is not even especially mean hearted The article is saying that Levine's entire gender identity is a lie. You honestly don't see anything mean spirited about that? Levine is a random bureaucrat that no one in the public would know the name of if she wasn't trans. By singling her out, conservative media and the Babylon Bee are encouraging people to harass her for no other reason than her transness.
