At best, this is a story of Twitter being over-cautious about handling potential misinformation - which is a valid criticism to make and a conversation worth having - but the narrative that the government and Twitter collaborated to suppress "the truth about Hunter Biden's laptop" in order to manipulate the election is plain BS.
But as far as is known, the laptop contained nothing of the sort. Hunter Biden being a drug-using fuckup who trades on his father's fame isn't a scandal, it's basic rich kid behavior.
As I recall, the entire media world had to weigh in, telling many more folks about the story than would have heard about it without the controversy over the tweet.
In fact, I don't use Twitter and generally don't read the NY Post. Yet I heard about the tweet and the story based on the uproar that the tweet had been removed. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have heard much about it unless there were actual indictments.
And AFAIK, at no time was the NY Post website impeded from serving the story.
If censorship was the goal, it was completely misdirected and, unsurprisingly, ineffective.
I don't doubt there are some individuals who acted too politically at Twitter, but of course many people are going to insist this should be the only thing discussed in the media and should invalidate Biden and make everything anyone has ever said in the media false.
Why suppress a story if you believe it to be false and you did nothing wrong?
Correct me if I got that wrong.
