From ThePostMillennial.com….
On Friday, Facebook blocked a post and threatened to demonetize The Babylon Bee’s Facebook page (which they did hours later). The post in question was penalized for “promoting crime” when it was obviously a satirical post making fun of rioters’ hypocrisy.
Kyle Mann, the creator of the Bee, tweeted, “Facebook is penalizing @TheBabylonBee for ‘coordinating harm and promoting crime’ for our satirical post MAKING FUN OF THOSE WHO RIOT. We appealed the decision but were told it was unlikely we’d receive a response.”

Shortly after that tweet, Mann tweeted the following shocking update: “UPDATE: Since we requested the review, Facebook has INCREASED our level of restriction, moving us from a warning to RESTRICTED MONETIZATION.”
