For the past couple of years many questions have been asked about the impartiality of well known popular social media companies.
Over the course of tonight’s dinner and flitting between eating and checking my twitter timeline I noticed that Facebook and Twitter have done it again, getting it in the neck from a number of prominent figures, with Senator Hawley and Senator Ted Cruz leading the charge.
This time they have apparently censored an article by a well known American media outlet called the New York Post, which exposed some questionable financial dealings by an immediate family member of Democrat Presidential Candidate Joe Biden.
Twitter have even gone so far as to lock the official account of the New York Post on their platform.

.@Twitter has locked @nypost. Has Twitter ever locked the account of a major news outlet? Why is Twitter attacking the free press

I am asking the Federal Election Commission whether this coordinated intervention by @Facebook @Twitter for the Biden campaign constitutes a violation of campaign finance or other election laws

This is insane. Twitter and Facebook are both censoring a story unflattering to the Democratic nominee for president. https://t.co/EEeotPJgTA

Twitter and Facebook are censoring true stories about Hunter Biden but allowed the Russia hoax, Charlottesville Hoax, and others to trend ceaselessly. This is a war.

HOLY SHIT! This Facebook executive is openly admitting to election interference and anti-competitive behavior in an effort to assist the Democrats.
Facebook is admitting it all. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 https://t.co/A7HFOdt4Y0— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) October 14, 2020

Another good example of why you should join @parler_app!
“So much for Facebook’s claims to be a neutral platform: One of its top execs just put the social media giant firmly in the pro-Biden camp. And Twitter soon followed suit.” https://t.co/zhIEM54lUB

The Federal Trade Commission (@FTC) should also investigate these corrupt and deceptive business practices by @Twitter and @Facebook. https://t.co/eyZ0lNfOZY

Twitter, Facebook, and Google have the real election data, from their internal algorithmic information. They are risking public notice of their brazen censorship to suppress the Biden story to the extent of blocking the White House. What does that tell you about how close it is?

Social media platforms made the biggest mistake of their lives. The Hunter Biden/ New York post story is all over the television in evening news. They tried to suppress the story but what they did is amplified it and it backfired.

Mark Zuckerberg nuked whatever good will he had with elected politicians. I’m talking the Rand Paul libertarian types who money can’t buy, not the phonies and cronies.
Zuckerberg just fucked Facebook over today is the biggest way possible.

Let me get this straight: The NY Times can post to Twitter & Facebook its story on Trump’s taxes based on unnamed sources and documents it won’t produce. But the NY Post cannot post its story on Biden based on documents it produced. Confused? Don’t be. It’s political censorship.
