People have a right to not have government officials conspire to shut them up for being critical of the government officials.

That's what the Democrats did to people on Twitter.

The DNC are not government officials.

The government officials at the time were Trump's.

Yeah, right. The DoJ and FBI was Trump's. Ha Ha Ha!!!

Congress is "government" too, BTW.

I never said the DNC, I said the DNC were a front for Democrats in Congress. The Democrats knew enough to hide themselves behind the DNC (Marc Elias).

>>I'm saying Democrats abridged the right of people to speak on Twitter.<<

Where in the hell did that right come from?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let's just parse this a little bit.

Democrats (the federal government) abridged the right of people to speak. Period. (it doesn't matter if it was Twitter, a soapbox or talk radio)

Where in the hell did that right come from?

The First Amendment.

We have the right to vote, not to Tweet.

You are free to post on Twitter, and they can censor you if they wish....but the government cannot.

WRONG!

The permanent overpaid, unelected bureaucRATs are not Republicans.

And if there are a few, you can count on the fact that they're going to be damn quiet about it.

Did you miss this on FR?

Fox News Digital also learned that, according to Chan's testimony, the FBI regularly sends social media companies lists of internet URLs and social media accounts that should be taken down because they are "disinformation" from "malign foreign influence operations." The FBI then inquires whether the platforms have taken down the content. On many occasions, the platforms take down the accounts flagged by the FBI.

FBI met weekly with Big Tech ahead of the 2020 election, agent testifies

And there's also this.

The FBI were watching Guiliani's account and knew the Hunter Biden story was going to break so Big Tech was told to label it "misinformation/disinformation".

Miranda Devine: Twitter Files left out this 'crucial' element-author of the censored NY Post article

Democrats (the federal government)…

That’s your problem, right there.

Political parties are private organizations.

Was Zuckerberg lying when he said the FBI met with FB or when he said they didn’t mention Hunter or the laptop?

I don't care what the kid said. I care what FBI Supervisory Special Agent Elvis Chan testified.....under oath.

Btw, from the article: Zuckerberg said he could not recall if the FBI specifically flagged the Hunter Biden laptop story as Russian disinformation, but said that the story "basically fit the pattern" that the FBI had identified.

"Zuckerberg told Rogan: "The background here is that the FBI came to us - some folks on our team - and was like 'hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert. We thought there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election, we have it on notice that basically there's about to be some kind of dump that's similar to that'."

He said the FBI did not warn Facebook about the Biden story in particular - only that Facebook thought it "fit that pattern"."

Based on what Devine said, Elvis didn't mention Hunter or the laptop either.

You might want to listen again to what she said in the video. She clearly states that Roth was told by the FBI that a "hack and dump" was coming concerning Hunter Biden.

No government entity has any business to meet weekly with Big Tech and order them to remove content. Period.

I don't have a problem. In fact I don't even have a problem calling the democRATs what they really are...communists. The communists run everything, including half the elected Republicans (RINOs).

They "own" the print media, the broadcast media, the entertainment media, the education systems, the bureaucracies at all levels of government, all the "woke" industries that have recently outed themselves. (the means of production)

The communists actually won the "Cold War" back in the 60s and many casual observers are just now figuring that out. That's when Soviet agents infiltrated US society and all these "movements" miraculously and spontaneously began to spring erupt and thrive. Now the hippies and faggots are running and ruining the USA....with, I might add, a lot of help from the ChiComs.

And yeah, all of those bad actors I just mentioned above, if they don't outright "self-identify" as communists, or socialists......they will as democRATs.

Zuckerberg neatly sidesteps answering. The famous Democrat "I don't recall".

From the NY Post: When Rogan asked Zuckerberg if the FBI “specifically” said the social media giant should “be on guard about that story,” the tech titan said he couldn’t recall.

“No, I don’t remember if it was that specifically, but it basically fit the pattern,” he said.

Zuckerberg says Facebook censored The Post’s Hunter Biden stories because FBI warned of Russian misinfo ‘dump’

She claims to have seen a sworn statement by Roth that he was told there was a rumor the dump was about Biden.

There's no link to the statement anywhere that I can find.

He then came out with an unambiguous statement:

"Meta responded via Twitter saying quote, "the FBI shared general warnings about foreign interference, nothing specific about Hunter Biden.""

The FBI interfered in an election. 51 CIA operatives lent their voices to the lie that the laptop was “Russian disinformation”. That’s government interference. They’ve gotten away with this kind of corruption since 2016. Do you support the truth, government is corrupt, or are you going to continue to argue in support of the corruption. Your choice.

Of course not. But MSN admits it exists.

Twitter’s then-head of Site Integrity Yoel Roth has stated in a sworn declaration that he was told during those meetings to expect “hack-and-leak operations” by state actors involving Hunter Biden.

What’s missing from the Twitter files: The truth about the FBI
