For all I know the laptop could have been teleported by aliens into Rudy's greasy ass. Still would be irrelevant on the merit of any of the facts.

Hunter smoking crack is 1) not news and 2) not relevant to the current election. If that was all that was released, we wouldn't be talking about this right now. Everything else in the release is 1) far more damaging than the above and 2) far harder to verify as accurate with what we've been given thus far.

  So we censor everything that is not news and not relevant to the current election? What are you trying to say?

    I'm trying to say that right now, as far as I'm concerned, there are only a few confirmed facts. One of those facts is that there are newly released pictures of Hunter smoking crack, which isn't particularly interesting. All the other stuff about emails, provenance of said emails, etc., has not been verified by anyone but the NYP, who, contrary to typical reporting practices, are not sharing their info so other venues can confirm the accuracy. So, as far as I am concerned, that is unverified and quite likely inaccurate info and Twitter and Facebook has no responsibility to disseminate unverified and quite likely inaccurate info.

      They have no responsibility yes, but why choose this particular thing to censor when theres and endless stream of millions of other tweets that are also not related to the election and less fact based than this?

        Perhaps we're talking past each other. In my opinion, they are not censoring this to prevent incriminating pictures of Hunter Biden from spreading, they are censoring this to prevent unverified emails that could potentially sway the election from spreading

  If Trump's son was caught smoking crack you'd think it was the most relevant thing ever, ever.
