The Babylon was censored for naming a “female “ transvestite as man of the year. It was labeled hate speech. While the left talks about Republicans being NAZIs they act like aNAZIs

According to the plaintiffs, the legislation — which took effect Dec. 3 — will oblige online platforms to target and censor speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
In a statement, FIRE said, “The law is titled ‘Social media networks; hateful conduct prohibited,’ but it actually targets speech the state doesn’t like — even if that speech is fully protected by the First Amendment.”
According to the legislation, online platforms are required to “provide and maintain mechanisms for reporting hateful conduct on their platform,” and are subject to fines of up to $1,000 per day for non-compliance.
