"Soon after the Post article was published, however, something strange happened. Almost immediately, major social media platforms, including Twitter and Facebook—the modern-day digital town square—censored the true story about Biden family influence peddling.
As a consequence, millions of Americans cast their presidential vote unaware of serious, credible allegations of misconduct levied against one of the two candidates. This censorship served to benefit one candidate over the other and wrongfully affected the 2020 election. Today, these companies and their executives belatedly admit that their censorship was wrong.
Why were the social media companies so ready to censor a true story about Hunter Biden featured in a prominent American newspaper? Because the FBI had primed them for it. For nearly a year, the FBI had been conditioning social media companies to expect a 'hack-and- leak” operation from Russia involving Hunter Biden.
In more than 30 meetings across eight months, the FBI led Big Tech to believe that the allegations in the Post story were Russian disinformation, even though the FBI had authenticated Hunter Biden’s laptop nearly a year prior.
In other words, agents of the FBI, law enforcement officials who swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, knowingly lied to social media executives, confident that those executives would do everything in their power to comply with whatever the government wanted them to do, even if that meant sabotaging the most fundamental process in the American constitutional republic, our quadrennial election of the commander-in-chief, the president of the United States. To this day, not a single FBI agent or official or social media executive has been held accountable."
