Twitter refuses to unlock New York Post account unless Hunter Biden posts deleted

Democrats want to abolish the First Amendment. Do you really need more proof than what the silicon Oligarchs are doing to a News Organization that was founded by Alexander Hamilton?

The issue Big Dumb Dog raised is the first you malignant junkie idiot

[Rune]

the issue is Section 230 carve out- not the First.

Moron.

It is my understanding that Twitter is within their legal rights; perhaps the NY Post ought to find a new social platform to disseminate their information. Issue solved.

Of course the First Amendment only applies to censorship by the government.

The issue is not the First Amendment but the FCC Section 230...protection from lawsuits.

No. Im making fun of a man who trusted a man who has/had a big drug problem. Trusted him enuff to haul him around on airforce 2 to pick up all the ill gotten money that they split up together. Lesson one.......NEVER go into an illegal business with a drug addict even if he happens to be your son.

Indeed.

Earl, maybe these social media platforms have issues with being used to pass along dis-information.

Let's assume that's true. Does Twitter block other conspiracy theories? Do they block say disinformation about Trump? Do they disinformation between say a couple engaged in a nasty divorce? Seems to me that they pick and choose what they block largely on their company's own political views when it comes to national figures.

You make a very good point.

The 1st applies to Government not private business, idiot.

These Social media "platforms" have gov't authorized libel exemption because they swore they are a 1st amendment, Free Speech platform, not an editor and publisher.

The Democrats want to abolish the 1st amendment. We see this with the Silicon oligarchs and Leftist Cancel Culture.

Fine if Twitter wants to act like a publisher, then it is time to treat them as one

Can you provide an example of left conspiracy theories that Tweeter isn't blocking.

Sites like Twitter, Facebook, etc, are cracking down on malicious disinformation attacks. They are trying to save face rather than be dragged down into the sewers of the internet like other social media. They refuse to be used to spread conspiracy or pseudoscience.

4 years of Russian Collusion hoax stories, Jussie Smollet hoax, Hands up hoax, Covington hoax, fine people hoax, Cambridge hoax, Freddie Gray hoax, Julian Assange hacked material, etc. etc..

The Hunter story is Russian disinformation. It should not be allowed. Even though rightys lack the ability to evaluate anything at all. They read right wing crap and repeat it like gospel.

The Hunter story is Russian disinformation.
