For years Twitter helped feed unsubstantiated rumors Trump colluded with Putin to win the election.

They have Hunter Bidens' laptop with evidence but Twitter (and other platforms) were allowed to block this content from the public during an election.

” in a decision that is likely to set a precedent for future cases involving social media sites and federal campaigns.”

The precedent being that it is okay to block lurid articles that are embarrassing to demonRATs while allowing the same to be posted about conservatives. Yes, that precedent.

Every decision is political.

That’s BS on its face.

There’s LOTS of examples of Twitter allowing “hacked media” to appear on their services when it’s politically expedient.

Like discussing the information from the Parler hacks - never stopped.

But the F.E.C. disagreed. The commission said Twitter had “credibly explained” that blocking the article’s distribution was a commercial decision and that the move followed existing policies related to hacked materials, according to the “factual and legal analysis” provided to the parties involved in the complaint.

1. The materials were not "hacked". The computer repair shop owner was the legal owner of the laptop after it was abandoned by Hunter Biden.
2. Twitter admitted that blocking the article was wrong.

In light of all this, the FEC still ruled that Twitter did nothing wrong?

The FEC are idiots.

“an unsubstantiated New York Post article about Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s son Hunter Biden”

Um, excuse me, new york times?

______________________________________________

Nothing was “hacked.”

The idiot Hunter turned over ownership his laptops to the company servicing them when he never came back to retrieve them.

From the upcoming book The Bidens: Inside the First Family’s Fifty-Year Rise to Power Hardcover by Ben Schreckinger

FTB-——​On November 3, Americans did not just elect Joe Biden: They got a package deal. The tight-knit Biden family—siblings, children, in-laws, and beyond—is coming right along with him. They are sure to play a defining role in his presidency, just as they have in every other one of his endeavors.

Inside, you’ll find these and other stories and revelations about the Biden family, including:

Joe’s childhood, the stunning 1972 Senate upset engineered by his sister Valerie

Joe’s early years in the Senate and his role in the creation of the cozy “Delaware Way” of conducting politics

The Biden brothers’ business escapades, including the ’70s rock club rivalry that pitted Jim Biden against Jill’s first husband and ended in a banking scandal

The Delaware lawman who oversaw an FBI investigation into Joe’s 2007 campaign fundraising and now has Hunter in his sights

Hunter’s surprisingly close friendship with his Fox News antagonist, Tucker Carlson

What Steve Bannon really hoped to accomplish by giving the contents of “the Laptop from Hell” to the New York Post

New evidence that sheds light on the authenticity of Hunter’s alleged computer files

Like the Kennedys before them, the Bidens are a tight-knit, idealistic Irish Catholic clan with good looks, dynastic ambitions, and serious personal problems.

As THE BIDENS reveals, the best way to understand Joe Biden—his values, fears, and motives—is to understand his family: Their Irish (and not-so-Irish) roots, their place in the Delaware pecking order, their dodgy business deals, and their personal struggles and triumphs alike.

“blocking the article’s distribution was a commercial decision”

Well that’s the problem isn’t it. His “commercial decision” contributed to the success of the stolen election in 2020.

I’ll buy the books........ written by self-righteous quacks called psychologists and psychiatrists who said we were in danger if Trump were not removed under the 25th Amendment? .......sage scientific diagnoses made entirely from reading AP and watching CNN and MSNBC........ not ever having interviewed or tested Trump.

Where are they?

LAUGH BREAK.....who is REALLY doing the paintings Hunter is selling under his name. Art / Style magazines ran lots of photos of him doing his ‘art’... BUT.....the technique and style shown were completely different from those up for sale in the galleries, consisting of several genres.

Books politicians sell to launder money are usually ‘ghostwritten’....... Hunter’s money laundering art is ‘ghostpainted’.

Many crackheads are found passed out with colored pencils and adult paint by number kits.......science says it’s part of the addiction....../s.

Twatter, along with the other social media, is committed to promoting democrat causes. The CEOs met with bammy several years ago to talk about how they can shape public opinion.

Nothing like inserting a word like unsubstantiated into an article that claims to be objective. Bastards.

As was made abundantly clear by SCOTUS last January...there are no rules when it comes to elections.
