(TheConservativeNews.org) – Just within a month of acquiring Twitter, the company’s new chief, Elon Musk has published disturbing internal records and documents related to the platform’s decision-making process that lead to the hysterical censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020.
Just weeks leading to the Presidential election, The New York Post dropped a bombshell report on then-candidate, Joe Biden and his illegal family business dealings sourced from his son, Hunter’s abandoned laptop in a Delaware computer repair shop.
Twitter, along with Facebook, and several mainstream media outlets made mass censorship efforts, falsely alleging that the details of the story were part of a “Russian disinformation campaign”
Independent journalist and author Matt Taibbi reporting on the TWITTER FILES reveals that the Biden campaign was colluding with Twitter weeks prior to the election. According to the reporting, company executives would receive requests from the Biden team citing unfavorable content on Twitter. The executives would respond to the requests as “handled.”
Taibbi further reports that top-level Twitter executives made the decision without informing then-CEO, Jack Dorsey. The company’s former head of legal, policy, and trust Vijaya Gadde played a key role in the censorship of the New York Post story.
Further discussions with former Twitter employees reveal that executives debating if the contents were indeed “hacked” as they had initially perceived. But without any verification, the ban on any discussion surrounding the story was upheld.
Taibbi further reports that Carl Szabo from the political research firm NetChoice, wrote to a Twitter executive indicating that members of congress are upset with the company’s decision to censor the story, warning of a potential hearing in the near future.
Szabo noted that some Democrats in Congress believed “THE FIRST AMENDMENT ISN’T ABSOLUTE” and encouraged Twitter’s censorship of the Hunter Biden story.
Taibbi remarks that most of the censorship decisions were made without the knowledge of the company’s then-CEO, Jack Dorsey.
