Twitter suppressed a news story about their preferred Presidential candidate just before the election. They went so far as to lock out the Press Secretary of POTUS because she tweeted it out.

They believed the proper people had this power. Now they don’t.  
 
The real concerns here have nothing to do with “hate speech”. They want Twitter to die and a viable alternative to pop up so they can regain this power that is rightfully theirs. It’s really simple.

Twitter didn’t censor anything. The fact that the Hunter story was all over Twitter and every other form of media - social and traditional - is proof of that.

They complied with a request to remove hacked nudes.

The idiots who care about Hunter’s shenanigans were never voting for his dad.

Elon Musk and Matt Tabibbi could tell me the sky is blue and I’d go outside and confirm.

Man, I used to think Taibbi was a serious journalist when he was writing about the mortgage crisis. More recently, he seems to be wholly beholden to Putin porn while passing the pipe between himself and Glen Greenwald.

I think where I draw the line is that news outlets shouldn’t be silenced/suppressed/censored (whatever you want to cal it) on popular social media platforms purely for political reasons, period.

The biggest issue here to me isn’t remotely what Hunter had, did, lost, etc…, it’s that a media outlet like the New York Post was shut down for reasons that shouldn’t happen.

When one looks at the trove of unflattering articles the Post cranked out about Hunter Biden, characterizing it as shut down is a bit much.

I would argue the opposite. If they were posting that much with no effect then why the sudden change?

And perhaps I misunderstood…the Post was suspended and unable to post anything on twitter for like 2-3 weeks after posting the laptop story. That’s what I meant by “shut down.”

I have no idea where the CR lines are on this or not so I’ll stop at the risk of making an opinion other than “media outlets as a rule shouldn’t be suspended like what the Post endured” …but ultimately I find it hilarious people are shitting on Musk for sharing all this new information. I get that people hate him and want to see him fail. Richest man in the world doesn’t mean he’s a visionary, that’s for sure.

The fact it hits such a nerve to some makes me think he’s doing something needed, however.

New York Post had over a million followers on Twitter at the time, maybe even close to 2 million. Media companies routinely use Twitter and other social media platforms to share their content. I have no idea why you cap-spelled newspaper.

So yeah, as badly as you want to marginalize what their suspension means, as I said before to answer the original topic of “what’s the big deal here” it’s that a media company was silenced and unable to share on a platform…

The fact we are finding out more now seems appropriate so it doesn’t happen again.

How about this. Start with explaining a laptop of unknown provenance that a random self-labeled "computer repair guy" who suddenly disappears off the face of the earth, and which he then delivers to the right wing propaganda machine and not the FBI, despite a white supremacist president desperately trying to cling to power in any way he can holding sway over the FBI. Tell me how you think that laptop proves anything that anyone should give a fuck about, particularly when the info that's on it is in no way verifiable because the conspiracy nuts whose cocks you suck breached it. People are annoyed because anyone with common sense despises gaslighting but it seems like that's all you dipshits can do.

I mean it's basic social media moderation policy, and it absolutely should happen again, and again, and again everytime there is harmful content which needs to be taken down.

Dude, I’m not trying to gaslight or do any of that shit.

Isn’t what you described exactly why we have “journalistic standards?” And if a media outlet presents information or an article that they say passes their muster (addressing every single issue you mentioned), we give them the initial benefit of the doubt no matter what?

Whatever the Post had done to date…99.99% of their content was deemed acceptable. Then suddenly there’s no more benefit of the doubt?

[McCroskey 1504]

“Harmful content.”

Are our elected officials deciding exactly what that is so that we know when and when not to apply it?

Or, are we being subjective in its use?

I know you know the answer and that’s my point. This is a super complicated thing, IMO.

They had been moderated before. Anyone on twitter was aware there was a risk of being moderated. Why cry about it over some total hoax of a story that proves absolutely nothing, and which was obviously a misinformation campaign and an extension of the involvement by Russia in 2016. Why the fuck should anyone just accept that type of subterfuge in an election?

Well I really, really don’t want this to be CR talk.

The NYP may have been moderated, maybe (I’m not sure of specific examples), but flat out suspended?? I don’t recall seeing where that happened prior to the laptop story. It’s why the whole thing was such a fuck up on Twitter’s part.

And the rest of what you said is 100% conjecture.

We went through an election where one side was able to launder russian propaganda into the mainstream press. Perhaps you somehow slept through it and perhaps you don't realize what they tried with the laptop is just an extension of the same behavior in 2016. The difference was in 2016 the media was happy to repackage and repeat certain lies. This time they were not.

Quote

The Federal Election Commission has ruled Twitter did not violate federal elections law when it restricted the distribution of a New York Post article with unverified claims about President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, according to documents made public Wednesday. 

It also found Twitter did not violate the law by adding warning labels to former President Donald Trump’s tweets or allegedly “shadow banning” conservative viewpoints.

 

The agency found in a unanimous decision that Twitter had made valid decisions based on commercial reasons, according to a statement by the commission’s Vice Chair Allen Dickerson and Commissioner James “Trey” Trainor III, who are Republicans.

It's not about the laptop. Musk is not a clown. It's about the 1st amendment. It's about how the government should regulate twitter's moderation policy. Hunter Biden is a threat to democracy. Saudi Arabia and Russia are our besties and NATO is our enemy. Okay cool.

Fair enough, but that just circles back to this is basic content moderation. If some trash rag like the NYP puts obviously inappropriate material on a website it should absolutely be taken down and if they keep at it they should be barred. It's very simple. It's not a left or right thing.

I never said the NYP was “unapproachable.” I think you mean irreproachable, but I never said that either.

In hindsight, wasn’t it later proven as verified? Didn’t CBS and other outlets recently start discussing the broader topic?

I am NOT one of those people you describe.

As I said from the beginning, my whole point around this is that I don’t think the NYP as a news outlet should have been suspended from Twitter for a story they posted. A different standard was applied for their story, and why that happened is what I think is important and how do we prevent it from happening again…again from a Musk-owned Twitter who may try to silence a story negative towards him or something he favors.
