CensorTrack with TR: Jokes Are Funny, Big Tech’s Censorship Is Not

December 1st, 2021 2:00 PM

It’s Episode Fourteen of MRC’s newest video series, CensorTrack with TR. This week we talked about satire sites, funny memes and tweeting jokes … all of which Big Tech censored.

The Babylon Bee is a satirical news site whose slogan is “Fake News You Can Trust.” Though the site releases articles that are purposely false and intended for humor, Big Tech censors it on a regular basis. 

An old Thanksgiving meme resurfaced and spread online last week. The image presented a PSA discouraging marajuana use. The PSA had the Ad Council logo on it even though it was a fake advertisement. Since its reappearance and Big Tech’s love of censorship, Facebook and Instagram fact checkers from USA Today flagged the meme as false. 

Spoiler alert: It is false. The ad also reads “If you or someone you know is addicted to marijuana, call Domino’s at 215-712-1000, rent a tape and enjoy!” Though it is evident that the ad was a joke, fact checkers wanted to give it a label just in case someone took the ad seriously. 

Last week USA today wasted their time again by fact checking a post where White House press secretary Jen Psaki suggested Taco Bell for Thanksgiving to deal with inflation. The post originally came from Beep Satire’s Instagram, whose bio reads, “Satire, jokes, & media flops. 100% fake news made for you.” USA Today even went so far as to check White House official transcripts to verify that Psaki did not in fact call for Taco Bell Thanksgiving. 

Conservative commentator Amy Curtis replied to a post regarding pie and vaccines with a joke. She said: “Cut my pie like this and I'll stab you with the meat fork.”  Twitter forced Curtis to remove her post and she was placed in a “12 hour timeout.” 

Jack Dorsey stepped down as Twitter CEO on Monday November 29. His departure however does not dismiss Twitter’s abuse of conservative, humorous content and users online. Big Tech only approves what aligns exactly with the view of the left, even if they are jokes.
