In testimony before a congressional committee, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey admitted that his company made a mistake when it tried to suppress news accounts of illicit activity documented in Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop computer. However, he declined to name the person responsible for this "mistake."
"Look, the New York Post story and tweet were based on evidence obtained without Hunter Biden's knowledge or permission," Dorsey said. "We felt it was an unfair invasion of his privacy for someone else to disclose contents that, in hindsight, he would rather have not seen in the media because of the damage it would do to his father's presidential campaign. Having his own son's escapades be his undoing would have been especially traumatic for both of them. Our motivation was purely focused on kindness, not political favoritism. We would have done the same thing if similar evidence had been found on Eric Trump's laptop."
"Admittedly, some of the stuff on Hunter's laptop did involve actions that could have been construed as criminal in nature," Dorsey added. "Normally, attempting to hide evidence of a crime could be considered obstruction of justice. Under our Constitution no one can be compelled to give evidence against himself. This protection applies both to Hunter who committed the crimes documented in his laptop and the person or persons at Twitter who helped in the effort to conceal this evidence from legal authorities."
In related news, House Consumer Protection and Commerce Subcommittee Chairwoman Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) vowed that "we will crackdown on these social media platforms to ensure that they do a better job of eliminating erroneous posts that would tend to undermine the unity that we are attempting to achieve in this country. Deviations from the accepted narrative must be squelched before they do damage. Purveyors of ignorance and nonconformity must not be given an outlet for their hateful commentary."

Jack always says after the fact that they made a mistake by blocking some content, but the damage is already done and then they keep making the same mistakes for which he will later acknowledge the mistake, then again and again. It means absolutely zero.
Why even bother calling him in when congress refuses to do anything about it?
Exactly, damage already done, mission accomlished
Dorsey looks like some sort of ghoul out of a horror movie.
Because he is one. It can be argued he’s worse.
Fine them out of business.
“I’m sorry, we made a mistake. But our errors accomplished our goal, so I’m not sorry”.
or
“I’m sorry, you made a mistaking thinking we had any guiding principles at all”.
A mistake they would gladly repeat over and again to protect their buddies.
