Hunter Biden laptop bombshell: Twitter invented reason to censor Post’s reporting

[yankintx]

The title is hyperbole

Unless one is obsessed with a coke heads laptop.

Keep chasing it Rightiea lol

 

[yankintx]

Good lord you guys get desperate ...
"Also on October 24, the Democratic National Committee requested two tweets related to Hunter Biden be removed. One, from James Wood, was a parody Biden presidential ad displaying his son smoking what appears to be a crack pipe."

OMG

That's the bombshell ?

You mean an unverified email that doesn't mention Joe himself, doesn't imply any direct involvement by Joe, all over a deal that never even happened? Anybody who would have "switched their vote" over that was voting for Trump anyway.

THis is what it really is all about in spite of the continued diversions and deflections of th eleft.

New depths of treachery.
The Biden campaign directly telling twitter to kill the story. Biden campaign telling twitter who to block.
What will the left do?
I'm sure CNN will take at least three days to spin and finally mention this st

Hunter Biden laptop bombshell: Twitter invented reason to censor Post’s reporting

There’s nothing to “like” about this. Elon Musk unveiled devastating internal Twitter files on Friday.

The GOP really needs to get out of Hunter Biden's asshole and focus on things people care about.

It is amazing to me to see the apologetics used for the Buirisma situation, where the left simply says "There's nothing to see HERE, folks" as buildings are burning in the background, cop cars are being blown up, planes crashing". Apologetics is the business of explaining things away and claiming that contradictions really aren't by using hypotheticals, maybes and "coulds". It amounts to people still believing that Trump colluded with Russia even though a two-year-long investigation found no evidence but did find that the high-powered attorney firm set it all up for Hillary Clinton. IOW, apologetics uses excuses that strain credulity. The left always wants "p[roof' when it is their guy and when it is Trump or a conservative, a mere wild claim is more than enough to convict.

Someone with zero experience making $50-80K a month on the board of a company whose business he knew nothing about? For what exactly? His dad claiming he knew nothing about it in spite of evidence of meetings and photos of him with the heads of Burisma? A company that KNEW they were under investigation and the prosecutor was closing in. Lo and behold, Hunter's dad somehow is able to deny Ukraine a billion in aid all on his own without consulting Obama or Congress if Zelensky himself doesn't take care of the prosecutor? This amounts to a mafia "hit' on a rival to kill an investigation.

I'm not sure where the idea came from that the laptop story was going to be as impactful as some assumed it would be, given that at the time there was nothing concrete. From a sensationalist story perspective it would have made the rounds, but the story itself didn't have much to it.

Still doesn't. But the republicans are going to flog that demised equine for all they are worth!

What makes it "not that simple." The law that protects them, and every other website that accepts third party content, does not require 'neutrality' or anything else, and very explicitly gives all those companies the right to censor content they find merely "objectionable" even if that content is otherwise protected by the 1A.

What's a bit confusing here is Twitter did, temporarily, "censor" the laptop story as published in the NY Post (which is obviously their prerogative, see the 1A). But there were literally thousands of articles on the laptop story pre-election and the public pressure on Twitter to un-censor that story worked, in just a few days. I searched Twitter and direct links to the NY Post story appeared again on October 18th, just four days after the original story was published. So in the key two weeks prior to the election, Twitter was not censoring the story itself, direct links to the NY Post, or any comments about the story. Anyone can do a date-limited search and see the 'censorship' was temporary and that for weeks pre-election, comments about this IMO non-scandal were widespread on Twitter.

So the lesson, if there is one, is that when Twitter arguably overstepped its bounds with that story, there was immediate pushback internally, from Congress, from both parties, and the public and all that worked, and they reversed course, which is sort of what the "promise" of the 1A is all about.

Since you say you searched Twitter can you produce here on DP the tweets before the election about Joe's involvement in, and potential benefit from, Hunter's foreign business deals with foreign entities found on the laptop?
One other question, I assume, IYO, you consider the FBI to be part of the Government ... yes?

 

[bubbabgone]

To the extent they create their own content, they're as liable as Fox News for what they create.

And yet the "Twitter files" show no evidence of Twitter deplatforming anyone in response to "the government", which in 2020 would be in fact the Trump government, not that it matters given there's no evidence any 'government' did what you allege as fact, somehow....

Is the FBI "Government"?

 

[bubbabgone]

Let me guess. You’ve read several variants of this story. And none of the places you read them were outwardly connected in any way.

And you believe it more with every article.

Where have I seen this pattern before…?

In your posts?

LOL...the Forbes article, linked to in your Federalist opinion piece details the $17M they received after he left office...but yet you and the "CFO" are confused.

Is that it? I thought these HUGE MEGA DEALS that the crackhead son put together were going on for DECADES.

No?

Nothing burger.

Soooo ... looks like you expect Joe Biden records to show what Hunter laundered for him (see #659) while he was Senator and VP.
But in 2017 he was free to benefit from his extraordinary skills and accumulate almost $20M in 3 years.

Ah, we have something else that shows you don't understand what was written.
Better read it again to see what I asked.

I don't feed sea lions. Do your own search if you care. I told you what I found.

Actually, here's the search for "Bobulinski Joe Biden" from Oct 15 through election day. Knock yourself out.

I never joined Twitter and since you can't back up your claim with the Tweets you say you read you make it look like you didn't either.
And, no, a Twitter thread about Bobulinski isn't "direct links to the NY Post story [that] appeared again on October 18th,"

You asked for Tweets about "Joe's involvement in, and potential benefit from, Hunter's foreign business deals with foreign entities found on the laptop?" I provided a link, that you didn't even bother clicking. Now you ask a different question.

This is why feeding your sea-lioning BS is a mistake. But here you go - a direct link from Trump's War Room, directly affiliated with the Trump campaign.

 

[What if...?]

In your posts?

Weak.

Just trying to help your narrative stand up to scrutiny.

 

[bomberfox]

So basically all the stuff that was banned were chuds posting revenge porn do i have that right? Of course with Musk around posting revenge porn on twitter is going to be a ok.

 

[bomberfox]

I absolutely did. That's how I know the things you're saying are complete BS.

Again, that didn't happen. And if you think it did, then you have to think the Trump campaign was also colluding, since they were engaging in the same practices the Biden campaign was engaging in.

It had nothing to do with "don't like". I'm guessing you have no idea what you're talking about. Do you even know of the content the tweets that the Biden campaign passed along to Twitter contained? Because it is important that you do.

Since Maya Forstater got her account back, posting someone else’s nudes without permission is going to be a-ok.

I expect you to prove your claims. You have nothing more, apparently.

But in 2017 he was free to benefit from his extraordinary skills and accumulate almost $20M in 3 years.

It is $17m, from a book deal, as your source shows.
