A spokesperson for Twitter defended the company’s decision to censor a bombshell story from the New York Post about Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his son Hunter. The company is citing its policy on “hacked materials” as the reason why it decided to limit its users’ ability to share the story, but it is not clear that any hacking was involved in procuring the trove of emails at all.Twitter came under intense fire on Wednesday when it censored a story from the New York Post about Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.

Always an excuse, rationalization or justification for actions against Republicans, huh?

Shut up Twitter. You know what you are doing and so does everybody else. President Trump was impeached for one letter (God only knows why) while the dirty stuff was being handled by the Biden family. President Trump's impeachment should be recalled and set aside. ENOUGH ALREADY!

Weren't Trump's tax returns stolen? Did they censor the stories about his stolen Taxes?

It was not hacked material. It was abandoned material. Therefore, legal to use.
Twitter is making a billion dollar mistake in protecting Biden.

They called the breach of the DNC's servers "hacking" when it was a huge download to another drive. That's why the FBI wasn't allowed to examine the server.
"Hacking" is an all-purpose cover-up term for the Dems. You could ask Seth Rich to explain this.....oh wait.....

I think we should call these CEOs of social media "oligarchs."
When the Soviet Union fell, no one thought the transition to an American-style democracy would be easy. However, once the Russian leaders gave the major industries to political cronies, we saw the Russian oligarchs become fabulously wealthy and control Russian politics.
I consider Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg "American oligarchs." Consider this and look to Russian totalitarian rule coming to the USA.

After nonpayment and a 90 day grace period Isaac owned the laptop, and presumably everything in it. Twitter and Facebook muzzled the story for political reasons, not their so-called ethical standards. And everyone knows it.

Their response is not convincing. It might have been if they had a history of equal treatment of all parties in comparable situations, but they clearly don't. Re-classify them as a publisher, not a forum or platform, and let them deal with the legal and financial consequences that it carries.

Joe Biden was selling access. He is unfit to be president even if he did not have dementia which is also reason.

Do they really expect us to believe, after the several decades of their double standards, that they care about doxxing? Really??

Prove the hacking,Twitter. Where is your justification. You can tell it to the courts. And by the way unlock all accounts you closed, be a sport and prove your worth.

Hacked e-mails are a no-no. Stories about illegally leaked tax returns are just fine.

The Hunter Biden emails weren't from a hack, but you can bet that any actual hacked data on a Republican would be OK to publish.

No 4, it's much more than a billion dollar error. Twitter's market cap as of close today is 36 billion dollars.
It's tough to imagine they would choose this hill to die on. Of course, a techie at the helm and ranks of true believers, I suppose it's inevitable. Imagine the shareholder lawsuit and the SEC investigation.
Facebook, Twitter, and youTube are each functional monopolies in their market area are are acting in concert. This area is ripe for legislation and litigation. The First Amendment is not a shield for publishers, and it's not a shield for publicly held corporations.

There is no evidence that anything was hacked. When Hunter Biden or one of his minions left that computer at a computer repair shop and then failed to return within a reasonable period of time and did not pay the repair bill, the computer just like any other item left for repair and then not claimed is deemed to be abandoned by the owner who brought it to the shop. When that happens the item becomes the property of the shop owner. As the computer was the shop owner’s property that owner can do as he wishes with it.

All these Marxist Communist are attempting to ban Constitutional guaranteed freedom of speech especially political free speech against their criminal traitorous endeavors. The FCC needs to immediately cancel their license to operate in America.
China does not allow any political opposing speeches and these companies fall right in line behind the Marxist Communist Chinese government. They are doing for the Marxist Communist democrats party exactly what they are doing for the Communist Chinese.
