>The censorship of the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 presidential election by Big Tech social media companies like Facebook and Twitter marked a significant turning point in the relationship between Big Tech and democracy.
Not to anyone who's studied journalism. That story was clearly nothing more than a gambit to smear someone. It doesn't even qualify as 'censorship.'

- shadowgovt 6y agoI think what the author means is that previously, Big Tech has tried to set a more fact-agnostic tone and operated as though the ultimate responsibility for deciding whether the source was reliable rested with the reader. There's a definite shift away from that mindset in the past (approximately) year for both Facebook and Twitter.
