So after a manual review, Facebook says they stand by their decision to pull down this article and demonetize our page. I& #39;m not kidding. They say this article "incites violence." It& #39;s literally a regurgitated joke from a Monty Python movie! https://babylonbee.com/news/senator-hirono-demands-acb-be-weighed-against-a-duck-to-see-if-she-is-a-witch">https://babylonbee.com/news/sena...

In what universe does a fictional quote as part of an obvious joke constitute a genuine incitement to violence? How does context not come into play here? They& #39;re asking us to edit the article and not speak publicly about internal content reviews. Oops, did I just tweet this?

A Black Lives Matter leader said that if change doesn& #39;t happen, they& #39;ll "burn down this system." That& #39;s allowed on Facebook. You can quote it. You can link to it. But a Monty Python joke about burning a witch at the stake? That& #39;s incitement to violence. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤡" title="Clownsgesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Clownsgesicht"> show.

We will not be editing the article to get our page& #39;s monetization reinstated. We will, however, be talking to the media about this. Send your inquiries my way: seth@babylonbee.com
