Elon Drops Twitter Files About Censoring Hunter Biden Laptop Story. Here Are Some Highlights

Earlier today Elon Musk, the new Twitter CEO, announced that he would be dropping a bunch of Twitter files regarding the company’s censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story from 2020, the blatant censorship of which undoubtedly affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Here’s the beginning of a thread by independent journalist Matt Taibbi regarding the Twitter files. I’ll go over some of the pertinent info, but if you want to read the whole thread, click this tweet and follow to each subsequent tweet. But the bottom line up front is this: Twitter was actively censoring users and user content at the direct behest of the Biden campaign team in October of 2020 and with no legitimate justification.

Internal files show requests for content to be deleted labeled “More to review from the Biden team,” to which the Twitter team responds, “handled these,” and others that seem to have come straight from the Democratic National Committee, or “DNC” in the file.

Apparently, both political parties were able to make these requests, however the response to these requests was overwhelmingly one-sided in favor of Democrats and the Biden team.

The most horrifyingly partisan censorship started when the New York Post published their story “Biden’s Secret E-mails” sourced from the contents of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop. Twitter went to great lengths to bury and censor the story, posting “unsafe” warnings on links, locking the New York Post’s official Twitter account, locking the accounts of high profile individuals who shared the link to the story including then White House spokeswoman Kaleigh McEnany, and ultimately blocking all related content under the guise of violating their “hacked materials” policy.

Everyone knew it was bogus and they were just making up excuses to censor the story that would have undoubtedly damaged the Biden campaign beyond recovery. But everyone just played along.

There did happen to be one Democrat congressman, Ro Khanna, who was concerned about how this affected things like the constitution and the bill of rights. You know, free speech and whatnot. But Taibbi, who scoured the files, could only find this one concerned Democrat. And his concerns appeared to be lost on the head lawyer, Vigaya Gadde, who was one of the first fired from Twitter when Elon assumed control.

Hilariously, Taibbi discovered his own name among the files when then-CEO Jack Dorsey sent head lawyer Vijaya Gadde a link to Taibbi’s lengthy article about how the horrific censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story was perhaps a bigger story than the laptop itself. A major issue internally for Twitter was that their justification for censorship was that the story was based on “hacked material,” which violated a terms of service regarding hacked material. However, that justification apparently necessitated an official determination that the material was hacked, which wasn’t the case for the Hunter Biden laptop. In fact, the opposite was the case. Additionally, Dorsey apparently tried to intervene and tone down the blatant censorship, or at least make sure people at Twitter realized how horrifying and inappropriate their actions were. But his concerns made little difference.

There will surely be much more to come, so keep your eyes peeled for more information. But the mainstream media will likely not pay much attention to this. And Elon Musk himself has acknowledged that fact.
