Twitter Now Joins in Censorship of Hunter Biden Corruption Story

Update: Twitter's Public Policy Chief Leaves to Join Biden's Transition Team

Dateline: Sept. 18, 2020
A former Democratic aide who served as Twitter’s director of public policy has left the social media company's Washington, DC, office to join Joe Biden’s transition team, according to a report.

The Democratic presidential nominee’s team declined to comment to Politico, which cited a source familiar with Carlos Monje’s move, what his new role is.

Monje -- who did not respond to Politico's requests for comment -- serves as co-chair of Biden’s infrastructure policy committee and helped host a fundraiser for the former veep this week, according to an invitation obtained by the news outlet.

He previously served as the director of agency review on the team that prepared for a possible Hillary Clinton administration.

...

Hey maybe Jim Jordan can stage another Failure Theater performance where he gives a Stern Talking To the tech monopolists -- showing how Tough he is for conservatives watching on TV -- while sucking the Tech Monopolists' dicks off-camera and assuring their lobbyists that the GOP will be eager to help them censor conservatives.

And of course, Mitch McConnell won't even permit a hearing in the Senate.

This is a Big Tech information coup. This is digital civil war.

I, an editor at The New York Post, one of the nation’s largest papers by circulation, can’t post one of our own stories that details corruption by a major-party presidential candidate, Biden. pic.twitter.com/BKNQmAG19H

Big tech is using every lever of power they have to stop Trump from winning re-election. They’ll censor news, ban accounts, suppress the reach of supporters and amplify critics because they know this is their last stand. If he wins again their ability to do this will disappear.

Josh Hawley threatens FaceBook -- but his threat is empty, because Mitch McConnell and his fake conservative corporatists will protect their donors at any cost.

.@Facebook I want to know on what grounds you are actively censoring a news report about potentially illegal corruption by the Democrat candidate for president. If you have evidence this is “disinformation,” disclose it immediately. Expect a formal inquiry from my office

.⁦@Facebook⁩ explain your decision to censor the sourced reporting of the ⁦@nypost⁩. Did Biden campaign ask you to do so? pic.twitter.com/FdGQV5N7i3

If this is false, why has Sundown Joe already called a lid? Why isn't he answering questions about this?

Exactly.

If the NY Post story isn't true, then maybe instead of a calling a lid at 9AM today, Biden should hold a presser, answer some questions from the press and say that the story is false on the record.

What does it say about the MSM that most journos aren't demanding this? https://t.co/1DDZm0cS2X

More questions about why FaceBook and Twitter permit thinly-sourced hit pieces against Trump, but break out the heavy-handed censorship for stories about Biden.

Four anonymous sources say that President Trump called military members losers and that's totally fine.

Leaked emails showing that Biden met with adviser to the Burisma board and FB reduces its distribution.

How is this not election interference from Facebook? https://t.co/fNTyCm4I9t

The most Pravda-like thing is that the immediate pushback by Biden's many allies in Big Media and Big Tech serve as confirmation of the story and how damaging it is to the Biden campaign. If it weren't true, they'd just say that, rather than censor its distribution.

The Washington Post is bragging about suppressing this story-- citing the "rules" they routinely break when it's an anti-Trump story.

The paper that was the uncritical receptacle for the sketchily edited leaks of the Russia collusion narrative had a policy against what it did? Interesting, but weird how it's unevenly applied. Also, the 2018 midterms and your smear operation against Kavanaugh would like a word.

For four years of Russia hysteria they broke every one of these rules. https://t.co/owodKCoL3E

In the weeks ahead of the 2018 election, your newspaper peddled a vicious rape hoax based on leaked therapist notes your newspaper never saw and which never even mentioned Brett Kavanaugh. Thanks for playing. https://t.co/t2wH6RC7zr

And what's the procedure for Social Media Monopolists' decision whether or not to censor the news? Why, they pass it on to "third-party fact-checkers" -- "journalists" at places like the Washington Post!

And they claim that this decision, from a blatantly biased source (specifically chosen for its bias), launders the decision and makes it "objective."

And this entire climate of endless censorship is enabled by Mitch McConnell and Jim Jordan, who are paid nicely to take away our rights.

The more I think about it, the more I think conservatism and America will be benefited by a shock loss of Mitch McConnell to his socialist opponent.

Yes, we lose a seat. But we win a battle.
