Facebook moved Wednesday to limit the spread of The Post’s reporting on bombshell emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop that show he introduced his father, Joe Biden, to a Ukrainian energy executive, a company spokesman said.

The social network may also have independent fact-checkers examine the exclusive story based on the younger Biden’s emails, according to Facebook spokesman Andy Stone.

“While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners,” Stone said on Twitter. “In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform.”

They actually crossed the line with this. They are basically controlling speech at this point, true or not. And it is a news story from a legitimate news source.

They’re showing their hand.

I would not rely on Facebook for news. No more than I would NBC, CBS, ABC or CNN.

You corrupt nitwits wouldn’t be if it was a Trump child.

Google along with some others, are making it impossible to see anything other than liberal biased fake news.

Humor yourselves and Google a conservative populist name across the world and see if you can find anything other than a hit piece. Jair Bolsnaros of Brazil, Matteo Salvini of Italy, Viktor Orban of Hungary, etc.

Huh. Funny they aren’t doing the for the “suckers” and “fine people” lies.

Facebook moderators are afraid of the truth

They’re showing their hand.

As well they would since absolutely NOBODY is going to do a damned thing to stop them.

Thank you, Think Tank Republicans, for choosing ideological purity and "oh, they are private companies, you can't get involved because..." over FRIGGIN' REALITY!

Your stupidity has allowed the Left to outsource thought control.

[eyeamok]

So Facebook is a Publisher and they are Making Illegal In Kind Political Contributions to Joe Biden to boot!!!

[The Pack Knight]

I wouldn’t either, but tens of millions do, and they vote.

I didn’t realize one could smoke crack and fall asleep! Imagine what your tolerance level would have to be for that to happen. Lol. What a scumbag!

[Buckeye McFrog]

I had a relative who nearly burned his house down by smoking in bed.

In addition to being corrupt, Hunter is a moron.

I can’t remember who, but someone made a good point the other day: If your phone company started cutting off your phone calls to stop you from talking to your friends about news stories they didn’t like, everyone across the political spectrum would expect the FCC to do something about it.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners,

translation: We're putting it on-hold until the Biden campaign decides just how they want us to spin this.

[The Pack Knight]

Like YouTube with their “don’t disagree with the WHO” standard. Shouldn’t they be censoring any videos favoring lockdowns now?
