    Again, you are playing "loose" with the facts. The store owner did not publish anything, the New York Post did after they recieved the contents and that is legal. It's amazing how you go out of your way to provide cover and to conceal Hunter's crimes by going after the store owner and his shop. All the while you ignore all of the illegal activities on the laptop itself and how disturbing Hunter and his activities actually are. Not to mention the fact that the emails on the laptop specifically point to treason at the highest levels of our government who was selling access and making money off of his office. Joe Biden making money from kickbacks in his sons business dealings based on nothing but the family name and access to his office is pretty disturbing and should be investigated. In fact, Hunter should have been arrested sometime in late 2020 and Joe indicted as well.

    But, yea, the store owner is the real criminal here? The store owner is not guilty of anything other than accepting a contract to fix some laptops which were never picked up by the owner.

    So now you're saying Twitter TOS'd news organizations to protect the privacy of Hunter Biden. You're joking right?

    The Journal did not see fit to mention that it is owned by the same company as the Post, whose honor it was defending.

    The notion that a laptop delivered to the Post by Rudy Giuliani two weeks before the election and rejected by the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Fox News, and others should not have been treated skeptically is the dicier proposition. Further, the hyperventilating about the assault this represents on the First Amendment is risible. Twitter, a private company, was free to ignore Biden’s request. Even if Biden had been president at the time, there would be no violation of the First Amendment. Government officials not infrequently request that journalists refrain from publishing material, often about military secrets. Newspapers sometimes comply and sometimes not. It’s only a violation of the First Amendment if the government coerces the journalists.

    Nor did Twitter’s temporary suspension of the Post’s account sway the election, as the hysterical tweets from the likes of Rep. Jim Banks suggest (“Never forget that 79% say truthful coverage of Hunter Biden’s laptop would have changed outcome [sic] of 2020 election”). As Cathy Young notes, 1) the ban lasted only about a day; 2) the ban may have heightened interest in the story rather than suppressing it and in any case the story was available via a Google search; and 3) the whole narrative about Biden’s participation in Ukrainian corruption, the gravamen of the laptop story, is false. It rests on the debunked theory that Biden sought to have a Ukrainian prosecutor fired for investigating Burisma, but the truth is that the prosecutor was not investigating, and that’s one reason Biden pushed for his removal.
