We could say there is a strong argument Joe Biden and his family broke the law, and indeed there's a criminal investigation into Hunter and associates.
However not only did all the big tech companies not withdraw support for Biden or prevent his campaign from using their apps, they doubled down and censored the story so most voters would not hear of it before the elections.
Again, big double standards at play here from a moral sense.
The larger issue here is that the internet really isn't so decentralized as it used to be.
There's like 10-20 major companies that control the majority of services people use, or the underlying infrastructure that powers the whole internet. This goes against the original design of the internet which meant it to be fully decentralized so no single entity or small set of entities could prevent the flow of information.
We should try to go back in that direction, either through competition and free markets or by enforcing it via existing or new regulations to prevent situations like this from ever happening again.
- colejohnson66 6y agoThe Hunter Biden conspiracy has been debunked dozens of times over. That’s why the companies haven’t withdrawn support for his family. Trump, OTOH, has pushed the boundaries of acceptable his entire presidency, and has almost certainly broken the law in the process many time.
- thrwawy12345 6y agoDo you happen to have a link or other source to this debunking?
- MrPatan 6y agoI can do a quick google and find so many journalists in twitter saying the story is debunked! What do you want twitter to do in the face of such overwhelming evidence coming from twitter?
- JuliusPullo 6y agoIt has NOT been debunked. What you have is the media constantly repeating that it has been debunked.
- JibJabDab 6y agoFor what is Hunter being investigated for? According to several articles, its for tax and money laundering which is not at all what everyone was making a fuss about a few months ago (the laptop/emails, which reminds me of Hillary and "Her Emails!"). Given that there's uncertainty around it, can we really conclude that "they broke the law" and that it's unfair that big tech did not withdraw their support?
