      Did you even read the article? It wasn't about Hunter's penis.

    It's a true conspiracy, but not bullshit.

    The problem is there’s a lot of conjecture concerning intentions and thats basically unprovable. Some parts feel sensationalized for the sake of theater.

    The biggest revelation from the previous dumps were that Joe Biden's team requested Twitter remove posts of Hunter Biden's nude body from the site, and they obliged. This is content moderation and completely reasonable. The latest revelation is that Twitter tried to keep antivax shit off the site. Everyone paying attention knew that was the case already, and was the right thing to do (Hacker News should do that, too).

      Let’s change the roles, dude distributes Ivanka’s nudes, for all intents and purposes it’s revenge porn. Which social media would not block the distribution? NONE. There are very clear laws around revenge porn. Now, what makes Hunter’s penis special besides the Republican obsession is beyond me.

        The biggest issue isn't the dick pics, but him smoking crack and potentially having sex with an underaged woman. He just happened to be naked while doing/potentially doing those things.

        He also was not the candidate, did not have a chance of getting a government position like his predecessor’s children, and there was no public interest in seeing his acts. It would have been newsworthy if they’d tried to hide the story of Hunter’s addiction but it was public knowledge already along with Joe’s desire to help his son get treatment.

        >He also was not the candidate, did not have a chance of getting a government position like his predecessor’s children And? Does that mean we should suppress evidence of crimes that are posted on Twitter because of that? If I committed a crime, should Twitter delete the articles and pictures? > It would have been newsworthy if they’d tried to hide the story of Hunter’s addiction but it was public knowledge already along It is more than just addiction. He may have had child porn on his computer and may have had sex with an underage girl. There is also the question of how he got such a cushy job with no experience and a drug addiction. >with Joe’s desire to help his son get treatment. Joe seems like he genuinely cares about his son and wanted him to get help. I don't think that is relevant though.

  Maybe the worst comment I have ever read on HN.

Also, readers should know that The Free Press is Bari Weiss¹. Vanity Fair described her as "a provocateur", which is the kindest-possible interpretation of her editorial philosophy. ¹ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bari_Weiss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bari_Weiss

  And Vanity Fair is a pillar of concise and objective information? Come on, at least be fair.

    Honestly, yeah. Have you read their reporting?

  And wikipedia bios of people challenging the narrative are also heavily censored and manipulated by the intelligence apparatus.

  Oh well if Vanity Fair says it then it must be so

  > In 2021, Weiss compared her own professional travails to Galileo Galilei, an Italian scientist who was threatened with being burnt at the stake if he did not renounce his scientific views. Oh, wow.

  Not seeing how I did any discrediting, just thought it was interesting as I was reading through it. I intentionally wrote this in a neutral way - e.g. I could have just as easily mentioned John Carmack and Oculus. Unless you believe that Matt Tabibi is not a reputable journalist or that the Twitter Files lack credibility, this feels like a very defensive gut response.
