This week we learned that our video hosting provider, Vimeo, had suspended the David Horowitz Freedom Center after it decided that Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon’s talk was “hate speech”.
Seth Dillon had discussed the Babylon Bee’s fight against censorship after Twitter suspended its account for a joke that named Rick ‘Rachel’ Levine, a transgender Biden administration official, as its ‘Man of the Year’.
That Orwellian act of censorship was described as one of the most “consequential” moments in the anti-woke struggle against Big Tech and helped lead to Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter.
A year after Twitter was ridiculed and then taken over for classifying Babylon Bee’s humor as hate speech, Vimeo sent out a letter announcing “Seth Dillon – The Babylon Bee was removed for Hate Speech.“ The letter refused to name anything hateful that had been said or to specify what in the talk triggered the ban.
Seth Dillon shared our article on X which got a response from Elon Musk. And hundreds of replies and shares from others including by commenters who announced that as a result of Vimeo’s decision, they’re dropping the company. Like Bud-Lite, Vimeo may discover that going woke leads to going broke. With nearly 100,000 views, Musk’s reply and Seth’s original message helped spread the news that Vimeo is a woke company that suppresses free speech.
Vimeo has permanently suspended the David Horowitz Freedom Center for posting my talk about censorship.https://t.co/KHaqh5IJLk

I've asked them to post the video here instead.

The David Horowitz Freedom Center remains committed to free speech and to airing the ideas that the corporate and cultural wokes who have overrun Big Tech want to suppress. And we appreciate Seth Dillon and Elon Musk’s support for free speech. Together we can all stand up and refuse to be censored, silenced, and suppressed.
As a result of Vimeo’s censorship, the company lost paid users who have announced that they are leaving over its lack of free speech. And Seth’s talk at the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s Restoration Weekend will be far more widely viewed than it would have on Vimeo.
Vimeo and the woke ideology it sought to enforce have already lost.
X users quickly noted the irony of the Freedom Center being censored for a talk about censorship.
Censoring an organization for talking about censorship is quite the self-own.

Others announced that they were dumping Vimeo.

Some X users felt like it was a story out of the Babylon Bee, but that’s just life now
Oh, you jokesters at the Babylon Bee with your continuing satire …

That’s all very funny for people with a sense of humour.
i don’t even know what Vimeo is. And I sure don’t care.
I don’t have any problem with Elon. Elon is Elon. But does Elon know us?
I don;t think Elon knows much, much at all, and we are watching you.
No balls. Nno Thrasos.
So run for Trump American Europeans. You will not find anything there..
So dumb you don’t even understand how the European experience applies to you because you’re dumb.
You’re going to go over there and show Hitler what’s what.
Because you’re dumb and never bled.
Here we have this left wing Jew. Don’t get me wrong my heart goes out to her but she is a left wing Jew.
This Jew thinks she has the key.
Hopefully I can get a word in, between Una’s hits on the crack pipe.
We conservatives must destroy all woke companies, including pro sports. We have no choice.
While we’re at it, we must master the art of ridicule, and do so without mercy.; all woke scum are targets.
Yeah, I hate their guts.
The reason you think you understand us is the reason we applaud you.
I mean just wake up dude.
Nothing you have offered mitigates anything in that regard.,
Ii mean just wake up. We don’t care if you hate them. We already hate them. Just do what you do fags,
NY fags. Despise you,
Like, we’re supposed to care what they offer us. We;ll annihilate you without regard moron.
Die soon mofos!!!!!! Hope you do. Mofos!!!!!!!!
I don’t care aboot, ELON!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe American fags aboot Elon care aboot Elon.
It’s like American fags think we should care about their American fag Trump.
Una. I’ve told you before. Take it easy on the gin. 😛
I wish i could but all we have in response is complacent American Yanks. I mean, that’s no good.
I’m really not very complacent, to tell the truth. I’m a bit bad tempered, really. People piss me off.
Ii you’re going to fight then fight to the death. Otherwise shut up.
American fag. Trump.
You do know Big Don is married to hotty Melania, right?
As if we’re moved by your BS..as if we haven’t seen harder BS than you American fuktards. zzzzzzzzzzxxxzzzzzzzzzz
Did you just call me a fucktard? Seriously?
Elon Tusk. Did they ever do anything?? Nothing.
I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to read all this Israeli garbage. Did I ever have to read this Italian garbage. Probably not.
Don’t get me wrong it’s garbage but Israel fags can’t admit it’s garbage.
Israel fags for America
WHY DON’T YOU FIGHT??? Because that’s complete anathema to you.
Have you ever met anything more complacent than the American Yank? Probably not.
Uh, Brits who surrender to camel jockeys and Pakis? And stabby Ethioipians?
The African chicks in America are FUCK toys and the guys serve us as security guards. Two of my girlfriends are African, one is Jamaican, three are American blacks and one is of indeterminate lineage. I think she’s half Latin and half white. We never talk so I don’t know. She rides cowgirl like a rodeo star, though. None of that wimpy grinding. She squats, straddles and rides up and down like a pro. And she’s very busty.
I think I wrote too much.
So complacent they don’t even know what you’re talking about.
Actually, so complacent they think it’s all some sort of elaborate game they win in the long term. Losses notwithstanding.
Actually, they lose big regardless of the Trump cowardice they incessantly seek and nobody forgives them despite all the adulation they crave..
Elon Tusk appropriated Twitster to the indignation of tweeting morons everywhere. Do I really care?? Probably not. The guy’s a fag. He’s never risked anything. He’s never confronted what he’s supposedly fighting.
You think Elon is gay?
Come to think of it, I’ve never seen him with a chick. A rich guy like that? He should have two on each arms at all times. I know I would.
You should look me up. I’m definitely not gay.
All bluster, when it comes to the reality he’s going to back off.
Then he’s going to congratulate himself for his foresight.
Then we’re supposed to congratulate him but he can go to hell.
We don;t need your forgiveness. We were always right you were always wrong.
Trump has a simple solution for Republican simpletons.
Trump: drain the swamp: swampier now than when he got elected:.
Secure the border’: Less secure than when elected.
Tough on crime:: I don’t need to elaborate.
If you want to lose this is what you do and probably they do want to lose because that raises their election prospects.
A bunch of stupid Americans who don’t want the overhead of being a world superpower anymore like the UK and like the UK still want to be relevant. So they cast their future grievances against globalists, China or anybody who will listen. They don’t even care what a cliche they are.
We’re not all like that. Me and Trump, for instance. Biden is a bitch.
That’s Trump. basically and those that have seen know
Then to be honest let’s get angry with Prince Harry who just reminds us of ourselves in the worst way.
That other Prince you have, William, looks like a King, and his wife looks like a Queen. I like that couple,
I like Harry too, although he married a real bitch. One of my friends thinks she’s hot, I think she’s not.
No, it’s all forgiven and forgotten KGB Putin because our traditional values hold a special place in your heart. Besides, WWIIII and you know, Dr. Strangelove and the military industrial complex.
Ad when the UK gets flooded with even more Hezbollah maniacs than it is already PJ Watson can resent Israel for flooding Hezbollah maniacs because that’s much safer than dealing with Hezbollah maniacs. That’s the joke.
I mean the mean the main reason they’ve made inroads here is plain and simple cowardice. I mean they might be anti-Semitic and I think they pretty much are but they’re not married to it like cowardice.
All for one blindly selfish annoyance.
Frontpage may need to consider a poster blocking function.
Ah…another weekend and another Una eclipse. I’ve not only forgotten the original topic, but feel like I’ve lost a few IQ points along the way after rifling through that. Oh yes, censorship.
Una is proof that censorship can be a good thing. SELF-censorship, for example, allows one to think through what they want to say before actually saying it. When you finish the manuscript for that award-winning book you’ve always wanted to write, you send it to a trusted publisher to sift through your thoughts, punching it up here and removing superfluity there. A newspaper editor’s red pen slashes a writer’s column from 500 words to 300 to fit the space. A mother’s hand across their child’s mouth when “naughty” words come out. These are all forms of censorship we’ve deemed acceptable, and rightly so…
…but when external forces with agendas of their own seek to silence dissenting voices by any and all means necessary…well…then we’ve arrived at the present. I personally feel that we’re the last generation to have experienced honest to goodness free speech and my heart aches for whatever future generations that may come because, in their silenced ignorance, that won’t even understand what they’ve lost.
“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”
~George Washington
What, no moderator today?
Apparently, having a moderator on an article about censorship is considered gauche. I consider it a requirement, especially on the weekends here.
una salus must be a synonym for:
ADHD schizophrenic limey wanker that beats on the keyboard like a retarded monkey with tourette’s”
The problem is that some are using Big Tech to achieve their own goals
