Per the FBI's own employees (via deposition), the agents on the Russia unit were aware that the laptop was real, and knowingly led Twitter/Facebook to believe otherwise. When asked directly by Facebook, the FBI specifically left them in the dark, leading to the suppression of the story.

As to your question, should the FBI clarify that "yeah, this isn't what we were talking about"? Obviously, or they shouldn't have given the warning in the first place.

To be clear: The FBI knew perfectly well the laptop was real and purposefully and intentionally misled the public to support a false claim of russian disinformation, while simultaneously giving social media companies the false narrative they wanted to censor it. Not necessarily misleading twitter or facebook, since I'm guessing they too knew the hunter biden laptop was real and just wanted an excuse to censor it.

Its pretty undeniable that the FBI put their fingers on the scales in both the 2016 and 2020 elections. That included public facing statements, private spying and sabotage, and commercial coordination. In 2016 they had such a chaotic mess of personal motives and self-serving interests that it wound up harming Hillary and boosting Trump, but I think its abundantly clear that wasn't by partisan intent. In 2020 it was just a naked power play to give Biden a boost in the election, no other purpose than that. Makes the hoover FBI look like paragons of prudence by comparison

The facts about the laptop story and its suppression has been laid out by others already. One other aspect I think needs addressing:


It's completely laughable to complain about Elon being a political actor when the overwhelming majority of Big Tech is heavily on the side of Democrats. They're one of the Democrats' biggest donors, they keep shadow banning right-wing content and censoring it at a much higher rate than left-wing content. Heck, there is even a clip of the Google CEO addressing the Google employees on the day after Trump's election in 2016 with the words "we (sic) lost".

Also, if you go to places like r/politics or the commentary section of imgur, you will see that left-wing talking points and/or propaganda spread on social media like wildfire too. At the end of the day, right-wing perspectives might spread better on social media because the left can't meme, and due to the recently emerged "diploma divide", i.e. Trump voters perhaps being more susceptible to propaganda and disinformation. But that's just a feature of the two sides' electoral coalitions, just like the Trump voter swap (trade college educated suburbanites for working-class rural voters) has hurt the GOP in terms of fundraising and midterm turnout. It doesn't give Big Tech the moral justification to (ab)use their near-monopolistic power to tip the electoral scales.



Your entire line of reasoning hinges on the premise that (contemporary, 'trumpy') right-wing perspectives are less true and morally inferior to left-wing perspectives, and on the assumption that this supposed inferiority of right-wing perspectives justifies the application of a double standard by institutions like the national security community, the federal bureaucracy or the fourth estate.
