I'm astounded that this story hasn't been posted yet! Here it is! A truly unbelievable story! Is this just CONCRETE proof that they are out to censor conservatives and protect the party that they love so dearly? https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/facebook-twitter-block-the-post-from-posting/
I don't consider the story unbelievable because censorship is rampant in this country today. Censorship and propaganda and misinformation are the foundation of mainstream media. They are the reasons why Bill Casey noted in 1981 that when everything the American people believe is false, we will know the success of our misinformation efforts. Corporate censors like FB and Twitter and others very much want Biden to win the election. They very much want to keep the American people ignorant of the truth.
The "unbelievable" part for me is just how obvious they made it, that they were clearly covering for Biden. I say "were" because Twitter has now stopped censoring it. I'm not sure about Facebook.
I am STUNNED at the lack of conservatives talking about this story. Is it not a big story in the US - @RodB,@AmericanNationalist, @Professor Peabody, @Gatewood.
It is huge. Are those Hunters emails or not? Why can't they be posted? They didn't have a problem with wiki going viral when their own troops were in the field. If they are real, post them. Or let someone post them.
Or even more recently, Trump's leaked tax returns, which there's no reason to believe weren't obtained via an IRS hack. Either way, they were obtained illegally and leaked to the NY Times.
There is only so much outrage to go around. But there are too many assaults in too many directions at such a high rate of impact that it's overwhelming. We've studied history. We know what is happening to this nation before our very eyes. But we also know -- or some of us think so anyway -- that we have already effectively reached the point of no return.
It might be just another day at the office, just one more example of a pile of main stream media outlets hard pushing Democrats and leftists, and stifling Republicans and conservatives. This maybe explains our reaction, though it does not excuse it. It is an egregious example however when Twitter blocks Trump's press secretary.
Yes, but doesn't this one stand out? When else has there been such a DIRECT almost 'in kind contribution' to a Presidential candidate?
I thought there had already been a thread.. Twitter and FB knowingly interfered in the election. It's as simple as that. Both oligarchs decided that they should control a narrative that allows the worst to be curated on their sites when it comes to Trump, and have removed the same kind of information to protect mr Biden. The most hilarious thing about these two is that both of them claimed they wouldn't post or publish information that "came to them in an unauthorized way". Can you imagine the damage to liberal media if suddenly any information that wasn't "authorized to be published" was suddenly removed from them? You'd literally never see another news story "breaking from the whitehouse", or other fundamental grist for the liberal media ever again. So, Twitter did the 180 after they realized that their standard against Trump would be in real jeopardy given their protection of Biden. FB realized the same thing, and suddenly, both organizations looked foolish, and frankly the internet nazis they have both morphed into. I suggest that both now be considered publishers, and that section 230 be removed from protecting them. This isn't what free flow of information looks like. It's what the Chinese do. We don't need Twitter or Facebook trying to inflict China on the US>
They cannot be posted in public because in this time of universal deception the narrative must be controlled so that the public perception of reality can be controlled. For the most part it works very well. When everything the American people believe is false, it will be 2020AD.
Given the 180, I'm tempted to think that it wasn't an action which actually had the approval of Dorsey and Zuckerberg, but rather some piece of crap leftist activist in the companies. I can't think of what Twitter and Facebook actually achieved by censoring the story for a couple of days, other than drawing MAJOR attention to the Biden story itself and drawing attention to themselves in a negative light.
Honestly, I think these folks think they are bullet proof. The believe in their ability to censor, and aren't worried a whit that you might be harmed or otherwise put out by it. Dorsey has said, on more than one occasion that there are points of view that he won't tolerate on his platform. His. Not public company interests, but "his". I admit. I took some profits. But i'm not going to reinvest there.
Let's hope so! I recall reading in the last elections that the greatest propaganda outlet was Google, since it was relegating news no matter how current, to the second or third page when it wasn't to their liking. This brazen censoring though by the social media is out of bounds. Then again, isn't it something that should have been expected when all principles were thrown to the wind by our government in their own policies? If our elected officials are weakened and their integrity is lowered in respect to our foreign policy, then wouldn't they also be weakened in our domestic politics as well? It's a natural outcome. I know Trump wants to reverse the decision that made the media immune to lawsuits no matter how false and heinous their lies when it came to elected officials. Hopefully he will be re-elected, and something can be done about social media as well. This land we love so mightily, should not be handed readily, to corrupt men with hearts of stone, who carest only for their own. Who'll push us down upon our knees, but not to worship as we please, but only gods of lust and greed and all the things we shouldn't heed - Jeannette

Point of no return for the house of cards set up to look like a political class that cares for and is helping its people. We the people still got this.
If one were undecided on the matter of the authenticity of the laptop and what it contained, that the mainstream media has so strongly censored the story strongly supports its authenticity. The most effective form of propaganda is by way of omission, and the silence of the media speaks volumes.
