Twitter Reverses Course on Hunter Biden Stories, Says It Won't Block Hacked Content
Newsweek ^ | 10/15/2020 | Matt Keeley

Thursday evening, Twitter announced that it would no longer block hacked content from the platform, but instead label tweets to provide context after the platform was criticized over removing links to a recent story about Hunter Biden by the New York Post.

Why does it matter?

Because the evidence Hunter Biden owned the computer has to be irrefutable.

If Hunter Biden can claim he never dropped it off, or it's not his, or he can make the case someone else dropped off the computer it will be difficult to conclusively prove it's his computer.

Without proof of who dropped it off opens the door alternative narratives which is what the media is now doing.

“You mean Cruz demanding @Jack’s backside in DC with a subpoena? Nothing will happen, as usual.”
The FCC actions concerning Rule 230 will have a more immediate effect. But, the Senate hearings will get more public attention.
That said, nothing permanent will be done unless the Pubbies retake the House and President Trump wins reelection.
If those things don’t happen ballgame over. And, I’m not just talking about this issue.

You’re acting like there is a legal proceeding going on here, when there’s no such thing.

Heck — I haven’t heard even so much as a quiet fart from Hunter Biden in response to this bombshell story. If he were to come out and claim that someone else dropped off the computer he’d have a whole lot of explaining to do ... which is the LAST thing he wants.

So, Boris and Natasha stole the computer and dropped it off. If only Hunter had awakened from his meth-pipe stupor to get Rocket J. Squirrel on the case all would have ended well! How could Twitter have known?!

I wish twitter would implement a policy not to allow “Jacked” material.

230 should be renamed the “anti jacking” law

This wasn’t just the censorship of Republicans, it was the censorship of media.

Many liberal journalists are just as disgusted.

The only hack around here are the Twitter employees attempting to silence speech and information damaging to their corrupt candidate, Biden.

Another Question?

Did China know what would be revealed in further emails? How much pull does China have within the social media sphere?

“ The only one who could credibly claim that the content of the New York Post story was “hacked” is Hunter Biden”

Or Scully. LOL

Me thinks thee doth protest too much

I have read there were more than one computer dropped off and never picked up

I came through the whole service side of business in a career spanning decades. If you leave your device there (Hunter did) and did not respond to calls to pick it up and pay the bill (he did not do this) then it was abandoned and became the property of the repair shop.

Like taking your car to a mechanic and then leaving it there after it was fixed and never returning to settle your account.

You come across to me as quite defensive on the side of Hunter Biden and casting aspersions that poor widdle Hunter was ripped off

Maybe your pictures are on there...

Inquiring minds would like to know, you seem scared

Within minutes, the entire MSM has decided a foreign plant hack is resposible, not the blow nose whoring grifter son.

Why would someone else’s computer have Hunter Bitem’s emails and apparently photos and maybe videos of him on it? For starters.

I only use FB for my local buy/sell. I have a Twitter account, just to be able to read what they deem “adult content”

But, I will sign up to Parler, because of Bongino.

And I believe the proper pronounciation is “parlé”. Not “parlour”

But, I live in Canada and not Louisiana. /s

Firstly that 2 questions, not one. But let me take a stab at one of them.

Did China know what would be revealed in further emails?

Do you really think China cares either way? The very fact that American VIPeez involved themselves soooo deeply is very troubling to me. Whatever it is, extra legal or extortionary. I would rather my elected leaders, and their familia, sell out to Liberty loving merchants than government hacks. Especially the ones with glass paraphernalia hanging out of their shitmaced mugs.
