Why Twitter Censored the NY Post Article on Biden

Here are the reasons why Twitter censored the NY Post article about Hunter Biden's computer. All the emails, texts, and photos that incriminate Joe Biden deserve to be censored. Here's why, directly from Twitter.

I just tried to post an article from Politico on this site and after wasting my time putting together an excerpt, the URL, a comment, etc., I clicked "Post" and ...... oops! ....... I get a message saying the source is banned or censored or whatever.

Better luck next time, I guess.

Gee, great, I love censorship, no matter what side does it. Is censorship now catching on with the right, too?

I have learned to ignore what people say and watch what they do.

Big tech censors of political views should be trust-busted.

I couldn’t care less what excuses they want to use.

Awaken with JP is a comedian who was making fun of Twitter’s excuses.

If Politico's material is copyright (and it is), they can legally put restrictions on re-transmission of that content (subject to fair use laws, etc.). Many outlets put few restrictions (credit, limits on amount), some are darn near absolute. FR has already spent plenty of legal fees on this stuff, and respects copyright assertion when appropriate.

It is a conservative comedy skit mocking Twitter censorship! How am I supposed to provide a synopsis? Nope, just jump in and assume ...

Damn it, it is bad enough when liberals are this god-damned condescending. That’s why I’m on freerepublic ...

There they go, confusing reasons with excuses again.

Reason implies some degree of logic and perhaps consistency. Excuses may also show some consistency, but they are based entirely on prejudice and emotion.

Thanks for the info.

It would have been helpful if the error message said something like that site's material is copyrighted. Instead, the error message only says the source site is banned, blocked, or similar.

Politico must be posted to Chat, not News.

I don’t remember Politico causing me problems for posting.

Here is a link to sites with restrictions on posting:

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1111944/posts

BTW, JimRob DOES prohibit postings from certain sites. Some would be obvious to avoid (e.g. anything associated with StormFront or actual Nazi-sympathetic operations, porno sites, etc.). I think Infowars is on the edge, due to a spotty track record on accuracy, though links to it from other stories are regular. “Q” related stuff is allowed, but segregated to prevent distractions. Jim’s house, Jim’s rules.

One of the comments posted on the YouTube channel nailed it...

“Democrats campaign slogan 2020:
Just because it happened, doesn’t mean it’s true.”
