Have there been any other known cases of similar action around the world?
- colordrops 5y agoBanning certain tweets related to the Hunter Biden scandal.
- faithdefender 5y agoWell said
- cigaser 5y agoPSSST, it never existed!
- nemothekid 5y agoDid the Hunter Biden story ever have any legs? As far as I can tell: 1. A grown man, who was not running for president, was doing drugs. 2. He was hired by company to try and gain favor with the White House, which backfired when the White House decided to act against their interest anyways (in other words the guy running for vice president didn't give the company a sweetheart deal because his son was on the board). Why do people try so hard to force this story?
- esperent 5y agoIf true it would further a false narrative that they want to push.
- ttt0 5y agoWhy did people try so hard to censor this story?
- colinmhayes 5y agoBecause people are idiots and would be swayed by hannity sound bites even though the story has nothing to do with Joe?
- ttt0 5y agoDamn, that's a wild thing to say in response to a censorship of a true story. I mean seriously, why even bother having democracy and free speech at this point. How does that make you any different from a dictator that's censoring any story that's unfavorable to him, even if it's something petty and of no significance?
- hntroll666 5y agoIf that's what you really think, I guess it's an indication of how well the story was suppressed. Does the part where Hunter explained that the long-standing arrangement was for Joe to get half of the loot ring a bell?
- hntroll666 5y agoI've noticed that the people who disagree with me are much better at clicking the downvote button than they are at clicking reply and explaining why they disagree.
- nemothekid 5y ago>Does the part where Hunter explained that the long-standing arrangement was for Joe to get half of the loot ring a bell? Again, it doesn't matter? Joe ultimately decided remove the corrupt prosecutor that was helping Burisma. He fucked over Burisma, and their "investment" into Hunter. Burisma may have tried to pull some nepotism by hiring Hunter, Joe ultimately said "no thanks, Jack", and fucked over Hunter. So the story is... Joe Biden doesn't take bribes? Given how inconsequential, or rather how the whole story paints Joe in a good light, the media suppression probably has to do more with the fact that the contents of Hunter's laptop were so obviously hacked and Giuliani painted an incredibly elaborate story to try and prove how he "legitimately" got these documents.
- ttt0 5y ago> Hunter's laptop were so obviously hacked It wasn't hacked, that crackhead left his laptop in a repair shop and just forgot about it. > Joe Biden doesn't take bribes? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_xXx0yUvSw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_xXx0yUvSw
- Stupulous 5y agoI think the original story was pretty unimportant. But the suppression of the story demonstrated that twitter was willing to manipulate the narrative against the truth, which is consistent with what the right had been saying. I wouldn't go so far as to say they Streisand effected it into public consciousness. Politics is a bullshit fight. Nonstories get media attention all the time, pushed by status quo narrative manipulators that everyone is okay with. But they turned a nonstory into a story here by covering it up (perhaps with good intent). I think that is what the parent is talking about.
- completelylegit 5y agoThank god that laptop didn’t get elected president.
- ttt0 5y agoThank god someone's tax returns didn't get elected president either lol.
- uh-quan 5y agoSure: in the United States, social media companies have been diligently removing content critical of government COVID policies and recommendations, even criticism from scientists and doctors who are speaking as professionals. The US government hasn't requested that social media companies do this, but the result is the same.
