I believe all three are pornographic in nature. So while it’s still notable that the Biden team reached out manually to report them it does seem all the tweets were in violation of Twitter policy and fair game for removal.

  > Censoring skittle dick (a descriptive term, not a slur) 20 days out from an election was a crime. Nudity was posted non-consensually, which is a crime in California. It was removed. That is not a crime.

      > It was actually consensual legally, given the paper her signed deferring ownership of all contents upon forfeiture to the computer repair company. C'mon. Don't pretend like that's legally ironclad in the face of California's revenge porn law, it very obviously isn't and you're doing your case a total disservice here.

        Californias censorship law itself is unconstitutional, but that doesn’t mean Twitter had to take it down globally. They could have only taken it down in CA. But we all know that’s not why they did what they did, they conspired against the people of the United States. They did this under the order and direction of United States Government employees

        Irrelevant, we have Zuckerberg himself admitting to being “primed” by FBI for the hunter Biden story. We have members of the Biden campaign linking tweets and high level Twitter officers replying “handled” (read in your favorite Italian accent). Criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States.

Twitter censoring the Hunter Biden story (the NYPost article) was unacceptable. But I really don't see anything wrong with reporting tweets containing revenge pornography, which 1) violates Twitter ToS 2) is illegal in California.

  So if Fox News doesn’t cover Jared Kushner’s antics to your satisfaction, should all Fox News executives go to jail?

        I see. So how a media company handles bias has no relevance to how a social media company can handle bias. They’re completely different and social media company executives get jail time. Great points. Well reasoned.

        The topic of discussion here is Twitter, the FBI, and the Biden campaign’s criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States. How “Fox News handled desantis” is not relevant. Though you are welcome to start another topic. Downplaying this topic as “what about X” is transparent

        You’re the one howling for jail time for Twitter executives. I’m applying your logic to comparable situations to demonstrate its absurdity and help you stop hyperventilating. Whataboutism is used to excuse bad behavior. Are you implying that Fox News bias is also illegal? Because I’m not. Media companies can be biased. They can favor candidates. Twitter isn’t on an ivory pedestal. Screaming jail time shows your ignorance to our legal system.

Twitter is used by sex workers all the time for pornographic images. What specifically about them violates the rules? Is it the fact that the person did not intend on those images being released? Do they have a claim if those images were no longer their property given the terms of service of the repair shop where the laptop was abandoned?

  Twitter's policy against "revenge porn" was likely the controlling factor. Also, in general, posting private photos of someone, without their consent, is disallowed on most/all platforms.

I can understand the repair shop owning the hardware and being able to wipe the data and resell it. But do those terms also give the repair shop the right to login to bank accounts via saved passwords and transfer money? Or use the SSNs to apply for loans? Where is the line drawn? If your company HR's data including your SSN and bank account numbers were on a laptop they abandoned at a repair shop, does the repair shop get to post them on their website?

  The images need to be labeled as adult, but for the bigger issue I think it’s easier to think of it as revenge porn.

  > they removed a NY Post story They = Twitter in this instance, not the Biden team. Taibbi jumps from one event to the other as if to draw a line between them but there is an important distinction. None of the evidence presented shows the Biden team asking Twitter to take down the NY Post story, just the pornographic images posted.

    Twitter censored everything to do with the Hunter Biden laptop story, they also took the extreme position of locking the NY Post account down over the article. Matt Taibbi is showing requests to remove tweets related to the Biden laptop story from the Biden team and from the DNC, and showing Twitter rubber stamping those requests. No pushback. No review. Just "handled". It wasn't just pornographic images. It was buried as much as possible and flagged as disinformation across the platform. https://www.businessinsider.com/jack-dorsey-ny-post-remains-locked-out-twitter-hunter-biden-2020-10 https://www.businessinsider.com/jack-dorsey-ny-post-remains-...
