- Jarwain 4y agoSpecifically policing misinformation around elections?
- lp0_on_fire 4y agopolicing "misinformation" is not the role of the United States government.
- andremedeiros 4y agoNeither is spreading it, but here we are.
- hgdhgfdhgfdh 4y agoWhat part of the H. Biden laptop was "misinformation"?
- meepmorp 4y agoThe idea that it was remotely important in the context of the election. Also, the idea that the story was suppressed. Those parts, at least.
- deadpannini 4y agoThe FBI doesn't get to decide what's "important in the context of an election." The contents of Hunter's laptop didn't stop me from voting for Biden, but that's because I'm a cynical jerk that already thinks politicians are corrupt by default.
- meepmorp 4y agoI wasn't talking about the FBI, I was talking about Hunter Biden's laptop, and what an entirely bullshit story it is from start to finish. Read the comment I was responding to.
- deadpannini 4y agoI mean, read the comment chain you were responding to? How about this: you don't get to decide what's remotely important to people in the context of the election?
- meepmorp 4y agoI'm not deciding anything for anyone, I'm merely pointing out a fact. Also, you're presuming the truth of the allegations that the FBI did anything to materially suppress this story, and that's not in evidence, Musk-driven hyperventilation aside.
- deadpannini 4y ago> I'm merely pointing out a fact. "The Hunter Biden story is insignificant" is a judgement, not a fact, it's a judgement. I'd say that calling it "misinformation" is bizarre, except that most prominent allegations of misinformation boil down to judgements too.
- meepmorp 4y agoIt's actually a fact, though.
- PonySoldier 4y agoIt's absolutely not a fact.
- meepmorp 4y ago
- concordDance 4y agoWait, I thought twitter DID suppress the story as part of their anti hacking policy?
- ModernMech 4y agoThey blocked some links, as did other social networks, but the story was not suppressed by any stretch. It was still all over the place and everyone was talking about it in real time, on Twitter even.
- nobody9999 4y ago>They blocked some links, as did other social networks, but the story was not suppressed by any stretch. It was still all over the place and everyone was talking about it in real time, on Twitter even. Twitter's actions almost guaranteed that this would blow up, prompting the wider media ecosystem to respond to the story about the blocked tweet, letting many, many more people know about the laptop story (which anyone/everyone could still read without hindrance) to people (like me) who don't read the Post or use Twitter. In fact, had Twitter not flagged the NY Post's tweet about the article, I might never have heard about the laptop story at all.
- cactusplant7374 4y agoWhy should a laptop repair shop be allowed to publish the contents of a customer's hard drive? Especially explicit content intended to aid harassment of the owner? Can you imagine the reaction of Elon Musk if this happened? Musk can't even handle public information being published (i.e. elon jet). He would go nuclear if nude pictures were leaked.

- ActorNightly 4y agoPrivate company = their rules on their product. Musk is demonstrating this aptly currently.
- hgdhgfdhgfdh 4y agoFBI is not a private company.
