Seth Dillon is the chief executive of The Babylon Bee and a public advocate for satire protections on digital platforms. After acquiring a majority stake in the outlet in 2018, he relocated operations to Florida and focused on stabilizing traffic beyond social media algorithms. Dillon frequently represents the brand in media appearances and technology policy debates.

Acquisition and Business Expansion (2018-2020)

Dillon negotiated the purchase of The Babylon Bee from founder Adam Ford in 2018, retaining Ford as a consultant while building a salaried editorial staff. He invested in podcast studios, video production, and live event programming to diversify revenue. The company introduced a multi-tiered subscription plan that offered exclusive articles, a community forum, and early podcast releases for members.

Platform Policy Advocacy (2020-2022)

As social networks moderated satirical posts, Dillon issued statements challenging fact-check labels and temporary account locks. He coordinated legal counsel to pursue defamation claims when he believed partner organizations mischaracterized the outlet. Dillon testified in state-level hearings on social media moderation bills and spoke at technology summits about reforms to Section 230 liability protections.

Public Engagement and Partnerships (2022-Present)

Dillon expanded collaborations with touring comedy shows, college speaking circuits, and faith-based media networks to broaden reach. He regularly appears on podcasts and cable news panels discussing online speech disputes, using Bee controversies as examples of how satire is treated by major platforms. Dillon also mentors allied creators facing demonetization, sharing strategies for subscription bundling and diversified monetization.
