    You must not understand the meaning of the word "suppression".

    Yeah. It was just the Biden campaign. You know, private individuals, so they can do whatever they want. Nothing to see here, lol.

    And the Trump campaign. Notice that got left out of your little analysis. Both campaigns sent notices to Twitter to pull information down (it should be noted that the information in those tweets that was pulled down was a naked picture stolen from a private person and posted without his permission). For some reason, you didn't feel like focusing on that. Why?

    Pretty sure I do. But tell me, how did Twitter's suppression of the Hunter laptop story prevent you from finding out anything about it?

    Trumpers are arguing that Twitter had a responsibility to publish Hunter's d*ck pics. Let that sit in for a bit.

    That’s how we got Pizza Gate… there was nothing shocking in the DNC hacked emails so some idiots focused on how many times they talked about ordering pizza and invented the story that “ordering pizza” was slang for “molesting kids”… same shit here…. You are right, they’ll just imagine their own story about these emails…

    Using the same logic, I suppose the government could control a certain percentage of the press as long they can make the argument that with all the various press outlets available nowadays, said control/suppression didn't prevent someone from finding out about a news story. Sounds like a phenomenal idea?

    Well, other than the fact one is unconstitutional and the other isn’t.
    Btw, you didn’t answer the question. Did twitters actions prevent you from learning anything about hunters laptop?

    Considering I get a lot of my news via Twitter, the answer is yes. And they wouldn't be having hearings in Congress about social media bias in moderating content if the Constitution allowed Twitter to just do whatever it wants. It is stuff like this which is why the hearings are being held.

    I don’t have an NYT subscription any longer but I thought Twitter lost 50% of ad revenue after the genius took over. Is it 80%, or is the tweet conflating number of ads and ad revenue. Either way, what a collapse. I know Twitter was not healthy before, but this is such gross managerial incompetence

    You would have thought that would be a surge of advertisers wanting to place their ads next to Hunter Biden's genitalia. So tired of the censorship which has prevented this long planned marketing campaign.

    There are only two explanations for the drop in revenue now that Twitter has been "improved". Either it's the intense pressure from the work leftist activists that is suppressing the natural desire to associate your products with that content, or Kanye is right about who controls everything. You know. And if you don't, he has handy charts with symbolic designations. Some star with an extra point.

    I’m still waiting for the Twitter servers to crash for lack of manpower.

    Elon owns all the liabilities. Sad to see his team in court for the next decade.
