Mailchimp temporarily suspended popular conservative satire site The Babylon Bee on Wednesday, saying it had violated the email marketing service’s “standard terms of use and acceptable use” policy. The notification invited the outlet to “review our policies for more information on the types of content we don’t allow.”

Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon alerted Bee fans to Mailchimp’s decision on Twitter, joking, “I’d email everyone to let them know @Mailchimp just suspended our account but Mailchimp just suspended our account.”
