Twitter’s Treatment of Project Veritas Reveals Double Standard on Leaked Materials
breitbart ^ | 13 Nov 2021 | ALLUM BOKHARI

Posted on 11/13/2021 5:14:39 PM PST by MarvinStinson

Twitter is allowing the posting of a New York Times article based on materials leaked by federal investigators about Project Veritas, the investigative journalism organization whose offices were recently raided by the FBI. This flies in the face of the treatment of the New York Post blockbuster articles on Hunter Biden’s laptop, which twitter censored because it was “content obtained without authorization.”

When the first Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” stories were published by Emma-Jo Morris at the New York Post in 2020, Twitter said it would censor the Post’s reporting because it had a policy against posting “content obtained without authorization.”

Now Twitter is allowing the spread of a New York Times story that contains privileged attorney-client information between Project Veritas and its lawyers, leaked to it by federal investigators who are using their power to intimidate and persecute journalists.

As Breitbart reported at the time, Twitter took extreme measures to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story, locking the accounts of not only the New York Post, but also the account of White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, and the official account of the Trump campaign. Twitter cited its “hacked materials” policy to justify the blanked blocking of URLs and images of the Hunter Biden material, even though there was no evidence that it had been obtained through hacking.

Correct.

I think the correct approach would be “In Kind Contribution” or some other flavor of unethical financial support for political campaigns. Some kind of campaign finance law has to be violated here.

But the GOP won’t rock the boat.

OK, everybody that believes Twitter has any inclination towards fair treatment for opposition journalists, please raise your hand!

Nobody? Come on Man, somebody has to believe them! Anybody?

Now that the FBI has admitted the diary is real can Twitter users post pages from it?

They’re discoverable on the internet if you want to read about Joe showering with his daughter (age 10 or 11) who believes she was ‘molested’ as a child but isn’t sure.

Dems denied the diary and said it was a fraud. Now, it seems, it’s been admitted as a real diary. Yet no journalistic curiosity of its contents?

“content obtained without authorization.”

Authorization? When the FBI hands their partner in crime, the New York Slimes any form of content, it doesn’t need to have any more authorization than that.

Let’s all understand that 70% of tweets on Twitter are leftist bots screaming at other leftist bots, and we can go from there to realize that Twitter is irrelevant.
