Discussion
Twitter, Facebook and now youtube have stepped up another level in censoring content following a story exposing the corruption of the Biden family by the New York Post.
Meanwhile, with the exception of the Wall Street Journal the MSM has not only refused to cover the story, but the far more troubling actions of the social media platforms.
There has been a continuing removal of conservative viewpoints for the last eighteen months or so but this is now the thought police at full throttle deciding what you can or can not read, many Doctors and scientists have already been censored for not following the narrative on covid and now it has gotten outright political in what is surely election interference.
It’s all a conspiracy!!! Buy as much tin foil and toilet paper as you can!
In the meantime, the story is widely believed to be a Russian sponsored misinformation campaign, making a lot more of it than is actually there. Ie it’s legitimately fake news. This is the main reason why the big social media platforms are blocking it. Frankly I’m glad they’ve learned from the mistakes made the last time around.

Twitter and Facebook have rightly copped a ton of s

Maybe the world has just grown tired of hearing dribbling QAnon spacktards spaff their delusional tripe across the internet, and we're just not that really interested in listening to any more of it?Meanwhile, with the exception of the Wall Street Journal the MSM has not only refused to cover the story, but the far more troubling actions of the social media platforms.

If you do even a modicum of research you will find that there are more holes in the laptop story than a sieve that’s been used as a helmet on the wrong end of a target range. The reason that the story isn’t getting traction outside Fox, Breitbart and OANN is that it’s garbage and has the stink of Giuliani having been involved in concocting “evidence”. The GOP and Fox etc have now pivoted from how ludicrously concocted the “story” was to how outrageous it is that FB and Twitter refuse to disseminate garbage, because it’s right wing garbage and right wingers are just life’s poor downtrodden victims. Boo hoo. Meanwhile, with the exception of the Wall Street Journal the MSM has not only refused to cover the story, but the far more troubling actions of the social media platforms.

And that hook in your lip must hurt a lot.

is the biden son story true though?
Go to the source, New York Post and have a look.I don't understand why the 'denial' was that Joe Biden didn't have any meetings scheduled. The denial wasn't about the laptop not being Hunter Biden's.
Surely if this was fake or concocted then they would be denying the laptop was ever his, or he hadn't voluntarily left it at the shop?
I'm not a Trump supporter, I think he's a right James Blunt, but I can't help but feel there seems to be something to this story.
Well done the soy boys, having completely missed the point of the post while trying to gloss over the contents of the story.
The social media mob started off with "We dont allow hacked content" but conveniently forgot they did not have those concerns with anything negative about Trump, like his alleged tax returns, nor was the NYT story the result of a hack but based on the contents of a laptop that was a legitimate purchase from the legal owner.
Then they tried it was "Unverified" , again despite Trump disputing the Tax returns were genuine they were happy to allow those stories on the platforms, any liability of the validity of the story is down to The New York Post who are quite happy to stand behind every word.
There is no "Disinformation" Russian or otherwise involved, and even if there were its not in the mandate of social media companies to regulate content on political grounds yet thats exactly what they have been caught doing.

What is the remit of these companies? What mandat do you think they have? I'm unaware of any official authorisation. They are within their rights to regulate what they feel is necessary. If you think there is no Russian use of social media platforms to influence the west, and others, then you are entitled to that belief. However, you would be wrong.

So pay attention:
Hunter Biden lives in LA. But apparently he decides to travel 3000 miles to a computer repair shop in Delaware to get three laptops repaired. He drops them off at a place run by a guy with dodgy eyesight who now can’t verify that it was Hunter who dropped anything off. And he didn’t leave a phone number or an address. Or pay for the repair. Or has ever been back to collect the laptops.
And the hard drive in one of the laptops was manufactured six days after they were supposedly dropped off.
The repair guy decides to have a good look at the laptops, including the photo folder, because that’s always the best way to do a repair, where amazingly he finds photos of a Hunter Biden asleep smoking crack and a Hunter Biden sex tape. Imagine that! Then he has a good look through the emails and happens to find some that look like they incriminate not just Hunter, but Joe too. Amazing! And the proof is that Fox has a print out of the emails. A print out. Like something you can type out. But obviously not typed.
So he tells the FBI who investigate and decide this is not worth their effort (hard to investigate when you’re laughing so hard I guess). Next, instead of handing these laptops to a specialist computer investigator who can interrogate the hard drives to see whether what’s on them is legit, he does the very next best thing. The sort of thing anyone sensible would do.
He gives them back to, errr, no, scratch that, just “to” Rudy Giuliani. The same Rudy Giuliani whose daughter says this is a complete crock o’ s
te. Rudy, then, oddly, decides to sit on this explosive “evidence” that could tip the election in Trump’s favour in a heartbeat for three months before feeding it to the NYT.
So, no, I didn’t have any trouble seeing the holes in that crock o’ s
te, no. Is that hook obscuring your vision too?

It’s not in their mandate not to. They can do as they wish. They are private companies.The social media mob started off with "We dont allow hacked content" but conveniently forgot they did not have those concerns with anything negative about Trump, like his alleged tax returns, nor was the NYT story the result of a hack but based on the contents of a laptop that was a legitimate purchase from the legal owner.

How do you know there is no disinformation?
The source is the laptop which was Bidens, and before you ask how I know he not only signed a recite when he left it, but the Biden lawyers requested its return last week by e-mail to the repair shop and Giuliani has them.Notice not one claim from the Biden camp the e-mails are fake ?

Don't know if it's true don't care if it's true especially.But you started a thread on the premise that the "MSM" aren't covering this which is demonstrably untrue.
