The conduct of Twitter, Facebook and media outlets in suppressing this story is horrifying.
While this story is somewhat damaging to Biden, I think, medium to long term the way it is handled is much more damaging then the story itself.
- option 6y agoMost importantly, this behavior (by social media and news outlets) is very damaging for USA. What if 8 years from now there is much more censorship, information control AND authoritarian maniac (from either party) at the helm? All of this, as we see can and did happen. Will the country survive this happening simultaneously with single party/leader in control?
- laverya 6y agoWhy 8 years? What's stopping tech companies and media outlets from continuing to support Biden next year as strongly as they have this election season?
- option 6y agolol, I think Glenn’s tweet with story and this thread on HN all got blocked. So, yeah, will likely be faster then 8 years ...
