Big Tech is in the tank for Biden, Democrats: Devine
New York Post ^ | October 14, 2020 | Miranda Devine

Posted on 10/14/2020 8:51:52 PM PDT by nickcarraway

In case there was any doubt that Facebook and Twitter are corruptly partisan, the social-media giants censored The Post’s story Wednesday on Hunter Biden’s e-mails suggesting he took cash for access to his ­father, Joe Biden.

The bombshell exclusive was trending all Wednesday morning on social media platforms until Big Tech stepped in to run protection for the Democratic presidential candidate.

Facebook announced it would censor the story by “reducing its distribution on our platform.”

I think if you are relying on folks who get their news and analysis via Facebook, you’re in trouble.

Big Tech is merely a tool of the Satanic Globalist Cabal. Only a fool would submit his personal information for their sordid use.

Well some people I know only heard of the story because of the coverup.

It was a brutal mistake by twitter.

Gave the story incredible traction.

If twitter was trying so hard to suppress it, then it must be big..was the thinking.

Trump played em like a violin.

No amount of “great” communicating would make suppressing a newspaper article acceptable, especially since Twitter was for two years an open sewer of misinformation about Trump-Russia collusion. https://t.co/9EqRjCagfV— Brit Hume (@brithume) October 15, 2020

Our communication around our actions on the @nypost article was not great. And blocking URL sharing via tweet or DM with zero context as to why we’re blocking: unacceptable. https://t.co/v55vDVVlgt— jack (@jack) October 14, 2020

True.

Big Tech just asking to get their arses wrecked. One can only hope Section 230 is severely amended or just vamped.

Thank you, and yes, I know I sound crazy sometimes.

However, many famous people throughout history were classified as "crazy" when they told the truth.

Oh and watch the Amazon hand-scanner ad. It’s loads of fun.

All very cool. Until one day...

Not only did the instant reflexive suppression gain traction for the story itself, but some of my liberal, “they-would-never-participate-in-censorship” friends who think Big Tech just limits “Hate Speech”, are waking up to the fact that they’ve been duped.

‘Bout freakin’ time, dudes.

Hand-scanner: look up the episode of Mythbusters that tested fingerprint id machines to see if they could be fooled—every single method of deception they tried worked easily, including photocopies of prints. Not comforting. Not comforting at all.

This censorship and Leftist activism on the part of twitter and FB is corrupt.
