True enough. You have your own assumption, and you're not interested in whether the evidence supports it or not.

I'm totally interested, which is why I noticed that your propaganda line is just that--propaganda.
If I wasn't interested, I wouldn't have noticed it enough to care.

The laptop’s provenance was suspect from the beginning.
“Images” of emails, (instead of actual emails with headers intact).
The spin of “oh lookie, the real ‘crime family’ was the Bidens all along!”

The cynicism that the electorate would be stupid enough to swallow this “if only Twitter hadn’t suppressed it!”, is depressing.

Actual emails aren't stored on a computer. They're in the servers of Google, Yahoo, etc. and are accessed by a computer. Therefore, an image of it as it appears on a computer is all that would be stored on a laptop.

"tackle antivaxxers" or "tackle misinformation? The former, I could see being problematic. The latter is, AFAIC, their obligation.

Oh look at that! Outside of the headline it clearly indicates its the latter.

talking about transgender, gay folks? Discussing the belief of social injustices? No freedom of speech for this issue.

Protecting medical lies? THIS is crucial to the universe.
Take it up with Reuters. They're the leftist organization that wrote the article. Maybe they actually knew what they were talking about.

Twitter sure looks like a Democratic source for propaganda.

Hiding crimes is weak propaganda. They need to work on messaging.


Hunter wasn't smoking crack with foreign prostitutes sex trafficked across international lines. He's an amateur chemist and job creator.

Just so I know: Is the problem that twitter "surpressed" information or is the problem that twitter is SUPER POPULAR and well used and surpressed information?

I think the problem is a platform that was meant for casual conversations and dialogue....became an informal but widely used news source.

Combine that with algorithms that encourage outrage and a word limit that ensures no one will say anything intelligent and it's mainly a lot of hot stupid on stupid action.

There have been many frivolous and unsupported lawsuits submitted. Just because a lawsuit exists, it does not mean that there is any supporting evidence.

Many on this forum are claiming that Biden and the government went to these social media companies and forced them to suppress certain content. I am just asking people to provide evidence or links to articles that present the evidence. I'd be keen to know, and I'd be just as shocked as the rest of you if only I could see evidence supporting the claim.

The stuff that Elon has released, the stuff that Zuckerburg has said, none of it even hints of the government coercing them to shut down any content.
At the moment, the claim seems to be baseless. Yet again, just baseless drama coming from the far right drama club.
Yet another example of “business as usual” being portrayed as “Oh! Look, a Big Left-Wing SCANDAL!”

Yet an actual email has headers that show where the senders originated from.
A picture of an email won’t tell anyone that if it’s from totallynotarussianspy[.]org or not.

The problem is that the government colluded with a private business to suppress information from the people.
I thought the claim in this thread was that candidate Biden's team asked Twitter to remove nude pictures of his son posted without permission. Not sure where the government part comes from.

Now that is a new claim, that these emails are actually not on the hard drive but in the cloud. You realize of course that that means the laptop itself is totally irrelevant?

I'm curious. What you would accept as "evidence"?

It is about the White House having connections with the largest social media company on earth and shaping what is allowed to be posted - having a role in banning thousands of political opponents and even the US's oldest publication - all to protect Joe.
But Joe wasn’t in the White House then; Donald was.

There are multiple things that are claimed, but haven't been established as fact.

I'd accept seeing an official letter with official govt letterhead, with a signature from some high up in govt and addressed to one of these social media platforms. Telling them to remove articles about Hunter Biden.

That would be one thing, it would establish the govt made an official request.

Also I'd accept if the letter expressed consequences of non compliance, e.g If yo don't comply then legal action will be taken etc...

In lieu of a physical letter, an email will be sufficient as well. Do govt emails include stuff that indicates the email is sent in an official govt capacity? Something with FBI emblem if such to show it is official. But it must specifically say what it wants to be removed. e.g. Hunter Biden laptop messages.And must be signed in official capacity by a current govt employee.

Pffft, facts. They just get in the way of what is REALLY going on.
The Deep State, it's an incredible thing and amazing how wide spread and pervasive it is. It can defy facts and logic and evidence. It can even include Republicans (RINOS) and Trump appointed judges (traitors).

You really need to start educating yourself by getting into the latest Q Anon information. It's just WOW, very hard to believe what is REALLY going on. Who woulda thought it possible?

Only if you believe that the email images were faked by Hunter, who then abandoned the laptop at the repair shop in order to implicate himself and his dad.

With Joe about to be in an election to be the next president, who do you believe the people in the FBI wanted to be the next president without having to face any interference from Joe/Hunter's shady business dealings?

Joe was not necessarily about to be elected. And at that point, Donald was President Donald. The FBI is also not the White House; President Donald was the White House.
