Satire

One of the more important parts of free speech is satire ( the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues). The Onion is a liberal satirical site on the Internet and The Babylon Bee is a conservative site. The Babylon Bee was banned from Twitter and recently allowed to return. For many people banning satire is like banning books. Satire causes people to think about things in an entirely different way and that is its strength. It causes people to think and this scares some people.
