Twitter reflexively banned a story because they thought it was bad for Biden. How many (now known to be false) stories did they ban about Trump?

Of course this is censorship. I don't think this is Twitter's policy, per say, but Dorsey has lost control of his staff and needs to be held to account.


No... they banned it because the origin of the material was incredibly suspect.

The fact pattern for how this material got to Giuliani is weird as hell. I'd say it's more than likely it didn't get there by Hunter Biden dropping off his laptop at the repair shop.

I'm not necessarily in favor of what Twitter did, but let's at least acknowledge their side of the argument. That said, the rationale for banning it would also inhibit a fair bit of legitimate journalism.

You believe that because you're highly partisan but that's not necessarily why they acted in this manner. Disinformation, regardless of the side it benefits, is bad.

Put a big fat disclaimer over any link to the nypost article or references to this story, warning people to take what they're about to read with a big grain of salt. Give people all the available information, including the potential for all of this to be a Russian subversion attempt, and then let the people make up their own mind.

But that's really the crux: corporate liberals/the representatives of "woke capitalism" dont like it when the people can make up their own mind, because they tend to arrive at "the wrong" conclusions, like voting for Trump over Clinton, for Brexit over the EU, for jobs and prosperity instead of climate socialism, for assimilation and national unity instead of multiculturalism, etc. pp.


People are still able to do what you're proposing given the current state of things. It's literally a copy paste action:

Like I said previously, the real story here is how Big Tech felt the need to unleash a full-throttled censorship effort to suppress a relative nothingburger story. One-sided, partisan censorship against conservatives imho is a much bigger story for the Republican base, and potentially for GOP-leaning swing voters, than the actual Hunter Biden stuff. People typically dont respond well to efforts to silence their voices. Not at all.

yeah you and i said as much just yesterday. this would have been out of the news cycle already were it not for twitter and facebook deciding everyone should pay attention to it (not their intention but whatever) lmao

Joe Biden's corrupt, debauched, coke-addled son Hunter has been found to have sold access to his dad's office for tens of thousands of dollars. That's the obvious conclusion from a trove of emails with his name on them.

The emails were discovered in a way that was about par for Hunter's character: Hunter apparently turned in his Apple MacBook Pro in to a repair shop in 2019, and then ran out on his tab, not bothering to pick the computer up after the technicians did the work, leaving the store in hock

Other material extracted from the computer includes a raunchy, 12-minute video that appears to show Hunter, who’s admitted struggling with addiction problems, smoking crack while engaged in a sex act with an unidentified woman, as well as numerous other sexually explicit images.


:rofl:

It’s pretty amusing to me how the left constantly makes Trump’s children out to be the absolute worse type of people, for virtually nothing, then in the same breathe ignore, deflect or minimize how much of a piece of shit Biden’s son actually is

^Santara is the mediator for any sort of political bets. My 1k fg that Biden wins the election. Let me know how much you want to bet.


I will bet 1k fg that Trump beats Biden.

But I dont know who is. I'm not a regular PaRD user

Would prefer a thread made specifically for this with both of us posted then the mediator holds the 1k fg.
Does that sound more reasonable?

Are you referring to an official d2jsp mediator? I don't think they get involved in bets. Santara is an "unofficial" mediator for PaRD bets and we operate the same way the Sports forums work for betting. Santara has a pretty long history of handling these bets but I understand if you're not comfortable with that setup.

I mean I have no clue about people in here lol

If I make a thread is it going to get closed?

The best part of the article is focusing on the "sleaziness" of Hunter Biden while completely ignoring the fact that the shop owner copied his hard drive and distributed it without permission to Giuliani(if we're to believe the talking point is true).

I still think that's probably bullshit, but if it's true, not exactly a great example of ethical behavior.

His one son hurts animals, plays with fire, and pisses the bed.

That's simply not credible. How many disinformation stories have there been, and how many did Twitter immediately jump the gun and ban? Even Jack is struggling to explain this one.
