Twitter faced unrelenting backlash after blocking the spread of a New York Post bombshell that was highly critical of Hunter Biden on Wednesday, as critics pointed out the platform gave no such treatment to stories from CNN, The New York Times and other media with highly questionable sourcing.

CEO Jack Dorsey even admitted his company was wrong to intervene on the Hunter Biden story without sufficiently explaining why.

Dorsey called his company’s actions “unacceptable” after Twitter initially claimed it took action against the article due to the company’s “Hacked Materials Policy.” Twitter had blocked the article from being shared on its platform and suspended several accounts for posting it, prompting Republican lawmakers to demand a probe into what they called blatant censorship.

Unrelenting left-wing bias leads to unrelenting backlash.

Now that Dorsey has explained why, the censorship is A-OK. That’s what the message seems to be from the continued account suspensions.

Except nothing was “hacked.” The computer repair business gained legal possession of the computer and hard drive due to non-payment for repairs.

So the computer BELONGS to the store. Unless TWIT thinks it’s illegal to release data on your own damn computer.

Twitter is giving people a more realistic look at who and what they are. They are starting to look with a suspicious eye at what Twitter is putting out. There is no other reason to quell coverage of this story except that they are not on the up and up.

Why isn’t Twitter censoring the lie that Trump and the Republicans are going to deny healthcare to people with pre-existing conditions?

TWITTER IS DOWN! Many other social media sites are having problems.
