After Twitter CEO Elon Musk teased a massive reveal Friday afternoon, journalist Matt Taibbi released a Twitter thread revealing the confusion at the social media company after it censored the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election.
Taibbi’s Twitter thread, which Musk retweeted, revealed that Twitter’s top executives didn’t have a good explanation for censoring the story, but stuck with the decision, anyway. It also showed that Republican and Democratic congressional staff weighed in against the move.
Taibbi recounted that Twitter took “extraordinary steps” to suppress the Post’s Oct. 14, 2020, story reporting on emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop implicating Joe Biden in his son’s foreign business dealings. The social media company even went so far as “removing links and posting warnings that it may be ‘unsafe.’ They even blocked its transmission via direct message, a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases, e.g. child pornography.”
Twitter locked then-White House press secretary Kaleigh McEnany out of her account for tweeting about the story. Taibbi shared an email from then-President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign staffer Mike Hahn, who noted that all McEnany did was “cite the story and firsthand reporting that has been reported by other outlets and not disputed by the Biden campaign.”
“I need an answer immediately on when/how she will be unlocked,” Hahn added. “At least pretend to care for the next 20 days,” he added, referencing the election.

I hope this is the beginning of The Reckoning for the Deep State and MSM.
there’s been some attempt to suggest Jack Dorsey knew nothing, but is it likely Dorsey did not know who James Baker was?
there’s a story that needs investigating. who hired Baker? why? for what purpose?
They have a very good explanation. They did their part in destroying the electorate’s constitutional right to elect the president of their choice
They defied the constitution. They wanted the democrat candidate to get into the White House.
That’s a good explanation
Not to be confused with goodness.
Okay. Got it. So, now what?
Keep twiddling our thumbs, clockwise, then counter clockwise?

FOX NEWS forbid their Hosts / guests from using Seth Rich’s name - in an unsolved Murder.
The FBi lied and said they weren’t involved.
FOX has 25 yr specials on JonBenet Ramsey.
What are the chances someone told FOX to not cover that unsolved murder?

Musk is revealing what we’ve known for somtime. Since I search for photos throughout the net I noticed changes in what was available. Images became onesided and anything that would make the left look bad was tougher and tougher to find.
I also noticed a lot of “flooding” with leftist information on sits that were conservative or favored republicans.
Can people sue FB if they falsely label content as false content?
There is a good explanation. They are Democrat scumbags.
Dorsey and the others knew....they’re typical leftists that play dirty no mater where they are. They’re tactics reveal their political leanings every time. So does their choice of words and phrases.
I could pick them out even as clients and customers.
Iwas puzzled for a long time about why the Twitter board was made up of no-name nobodies, and why Jack seemed unaware of most of what was going on.
Then I was puzzled why laying off 7500 “employees” made things run better.
A parsimonious explanation would be that the visible structure of Twitter (the iceberg above the waterline) simply existed to conceal the true power structure, elements of USG and foreign friendlies, operating independently but with common purpose, to block the rise of right wing opposition to the Obama-Blair-Macron internationalist anti-white left.
“Twitter Execs Didn’t Have a Good Explanation for Censoring Hunter Biden’s Laptop, New Emails Reveal”
I disagree. They had very good reasons.
Besides any real discussions they had would have been in person.
“who hired Baker?”
I doubt if Baker was “hired” via any typical hiring process. He probably was forcefully embedded on orders from the FBI. They needed one of their own on the inside taking care of things.
I agree with you, but I don’t hold much hope. These slithery, slippery snakes wriggle out of every jam they get into.
“I was just following orders is one thing”, who gave them at whose direction?
The world may never know...
you could be right.
whatever, hope a real journalist will get to the bottom of it. if Dorsey was involved, we can drop the pretense he knew nothing about the censorship.
“We’re corrupt.”
"It worked, didn't it?"
No-whereville story. Soon to enter the dustbin of yap.
Movin on.
