Where do you even begin? Yesterday, the NY Post broke a story about Hunter Biden that included an alleged email showing that he used his father — a current presidential candidate who was vice president of the United States at the time — to, at the very least, help him out with his business dealings. This is all alleged. The burden is on the Biden campaign to deny. Facebook, on the other hand, decided that it didn't want you to see the story in the first place. Twitter of course followed suit, first blocking users from sharing the link, then blocking the NEW YORK F'N POST. And now, blocking the House Judiciary Committee Republicans from sharing a link that wasn't even a NY Post link. It was a link from a government website.
The image on the left is what happens when you try to share the @JudiciaryGOP link & on the right is the warning you get when you click on the link. So @Twitter is not just blocking @NYPost it is also limiting the spread of a link from Republicans in Congress overseeing Big Tech.
Twitter, or a handful of progressive doucheburger employees from Twitter, isn't just blocking a link from a website. It is blocking a link from a GOVERNMENT WEBSITE! Also, a website for the JUDICIARY on top of that. Had Twitter, Facebook, and the rest just let the story run its course, that would have been it. Now they've turned it into a bigger story, and at this point this includes future government actions against Big Tech. Because there is no more pretending who these companies are now.
I was someone who never really cared about Hunter Biden. I was also one of a dwindling number of conservatives who thought government regulating social media was a bad idea. That's out the window.
Also, and I can't stress this enough, Trump 2020.

Who can censor the censors?
Severe panic. I think the government can now go for a court order on the basis that Twitter has been used as a distributor of information in the past
Because the TechnocRats believe they are God.
I, for one, welcome our new Overlords.
Germany’s tactic on control of Twitter/Facebook...was that if the government identified some text or image as bad...then Twitter/Facebook had 24 hours to remove it or face a 50-million Euro ‘fine’.
Maybe we should do the opposite here...they couldn’t remove or hinder a posting, without some federal judge involved, and any attempt to censor...would result in a 50-million dollar ‘fine’.
Try Parler, no censoring of the article there.
50,000,000 EUR to USD = 58,468,637.54 US Dollars
We should double, triple or quadruple that...............
Use Parler.com instead.
All the big names are on Parler right now. No need for Twitter.
Parler has miles to go, unfortunately.
For instance....you cannot look at a person’s peets (not sure what Parler posts are called), without being a member, so you cannot share with ALL, like you can with Twitter.
And, I think they require a phone #, which...a LOT of folks don’t want to do.
MySpace is still operational as a alternative to FB. We should take it over.....................
Twitter has crossed the Rubicon
They are enemies who must be destroyed.
Fixed for accuracy.
Senate, Josh Hawley, has formally requested Jack and Suckerberg to testify in the Senate.
If Republicans keep the balance of power, these tech monopolies are going to suffer bigly. I predict they go all in on censoring conservatives.
They are also working on technology that will keep them living forever, you know without God. And they won't let their own children use their technology due to its emotional destruction.
The government can shut twitter down today. Yank their internet connections. Done
The problem with that approach is that there is content that Twitter is already legally required to remove. For example, if I were to post a dirty video of my ex-girlfriend, they can’t wait for a court order to remove that, or they would be incurring liability on themselves.
