Here’s an update on the case of Twitter suppressing the New York Post’s “potentially harmful” article on Hunter Biden’s emails:
Breaking News: The FEC ruled that Twitter’s decision in October to block an unsubstantiated article about President Biden's son, Hunter Biden, did not violate election laws, according to a document obtained by The New York Times. https://t.co/EzFKKvQ7X2

Sorry … to block what kind of article?
NEWS: The FEC has dismissed claims that Twitter acted illegally when it blocked users from posting an unsubstantiated Hunter Biden article.
Decision not public yet but sets a precedent for future cases involving social media sites and federal campaigns.https://t.co/egdp3KY1HV

The New York Times is evidently trying to set its own precedent, that inconvenient truths can be dismissed as “unsubstantiated.”
NEW: Per FEC doc, Twitter says it was warned by federal law enforcement that "malign state actors" might hack and release materials — and that Hunter Biden might be a specific target https://t.co/egdp3KY1HV

The suppression of the Hunter Biden story prompted a fury of conservative outrage.
But FEC, per document obtained by NYT, found that such decisions — when driven by commercial reasons — were allowed under the law. https://t.co/egdp3KY1HV

“Conservatives pounced the suppression of a damning story about Hunter Biden.” As they should have, Shane.
And now, conservatives are pouncing on the New York Times for blatantly covering for a morally corrupt Joe Biden and his morally corrupt family.

Substantiated AF.
"unsubstantiated"? Unrefuted, actually.

We spoke to a cybersecurity expert last October when the story was published who confirmed via forensic analysis that the email at the center of the NY Post story was unquestionably authentic

Who are you going to believe? The New York Times and Joe Biden, or your own lying eyes and ears?
