Elon Musk releases files showing how the Hunter Biden laptop story was censored.

Elon Musk has released files showing how the Hunter Biden story was censored on behest of the DNC. New York Post. Hunter Biden's laptop was found in 2020 and information from that laptop showed degenerate behavior from Joe Biden's son along with credible evidence of corruption and graft. However, Twitter censored the story from their platform citing their "hacked materials" policy. Internal e-mails show that their was major disagreement about that policy due to a total lack of evidence about the supposed hack. The decision to censor the story was taken behind former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's back and was made by former Vijaya Gadde. 

In addition, the released files show that Twitter routinely censored accounts, including right wing celerity James Woods, at behest of the DNC, raising major 1st amendment concerns about the censorship. Kayleigh McEnany, the former White House secretary was also censored under this plot. The files show that both parties had tools that would allow them to request tweets to be removed but the system was unbalanced and favored the Democrats due to the Democrats having personal relations with the people in charge at Twitter. 

Matt Taibbi was the journalist that broke the story and a link to his twitter thread can be found here and in the embedded tweet below. 


My Comment:

There is a difference between knowing something and being able to prove it. Everyone on the Republican side of the political spectrum knew that Twitter tilted the scales against Donald Trump in the 2020 election and did so in collusion with the DNC. We weren't able to prove it in a court of law until now. People that claimed that this story didn't happen that way are now eating crow. 

The information here is fairly damning. The people at Twitter knew that censoring the Hunter Biden story based on the "hacked materials" policy was bunk. They knew as well as we did that the stuff on Biden's laptop wasn't hacked, it was just left there when Biden didn't pay for his laptops to be repaired. In a sane world the story would have been able to naturally spread on Twitter but instead it festered in mainstream obscurity. 

More disturbing is the fact that both the DNC and RNC had the ability to have tweets removed from Twitter directly. The GOP didn't use that ability much because they simply did not have the connections with the people in Twitter. But the Democrats did use this and were able to get posts talking about the contents of Biden's laptop banned. Even James Woods, a fairly famous b-list celeb back in his day, got posts removed at behest of the DNC. 

Keep in mind that many news outlets have confirmed that Biden's laptop was legit, including most recently CBS. That's what Twitter did here. They censored a legitimate story to help the Democratic Party and at the behest of the Democratic Party. 

This is election interference at the very least. The 2020 election was so close that Donald Trump only needed a few votes to beat out Joe Biden in a few critical states. And that's not even considering the lower ticket races at the Senate, House and Gubernatorial level. It's very possible that not only would have Trump kept the White House in 2020 if this story have been allowed to spread, the Republicans may have captured the House and Senate as well. 

I am so glad that Elon Musk actually stepped up and bought Twitter. If he hadn't we would have never been able to prove this. He did a good job using Matt Taibbi for this as well. Taibbi is not pro-Trump in any way shape or form but he is a good journalist and one that is known for not simply following whatever it is the Democratic Party says. If it wasn't for these two men I don't know if we would have ever found out about this. 

And it's not done yet. Musk says other files, some damaging to both parties, will be released soon. There are a lot of other things that Twitter has done with trending news that I would like exposed, such as their reaction to the Coronavirus, the 2020 riots, Kyle Rittenhouse and the 2022 midterms as well, and hopefully all or some of those topics will be exposed as well. I do wonder what the Republicans were doing with this as well. Time will tell what these topics will be but if they are as informative as the first series, it should be worth the wait.
