Babylon Bee CEO hopeful free speech will flourish after Meta announcement: ‘Better late than never’ [Video]

The Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon applauded Meta’s announcement that it was dropping its fact-checkers, calling the move a win for free speech that he only wished had come sooner.

“I think it’s great that Mark Zuckerberg is following in Elon Musk’s lead there,” Dillon told Fox News Digital about Meta’s move to bring a “community notes” feature to Instagram and Facebook instead.

“It’s never too late to do the right thing. But the time for Zuckerberg to take a stand for free speech, in my view, was when the entire internet was de-platforming the sitting president,” Dillon continued, referring to social media platforms that banned Trump in 2021.

“Is it better late than never? Sure. But he had an opportunity there and has not so far recognized his role in that mistake,” he added.
