Facebook reducing distribution of Hunter Biden story in New York Post

Facebook is limiting the distribution of a story in the New York Post about a purported email between Hunter Biden and an adviser to a Ukrainian energy company.

The 2015 email indicates that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to Burisma, thanked Biden for "giving an opportunity" to meet former Vice President Joe Biden.

The former vice president has previously said he has "never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings."

Facebook said it would rely on its fact-checking partners to determine the story's legitimacy, but until then, it is taking steps to tamp down on its spread.

"While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook's third-party fact checking partners," Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone tweeted Wednesday. "In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform."

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Here is the link to the New York Post facebook is suppressing.

Wall Street is virtue signaling. They actually take pride in not caring who's in the White House; it's a matter of vanity (and consumer confidence) that the money guys present themselves as being so shit-hot that they make money either way.

Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Sadly the story I posted earlier will be dismissed as right wing propaganda. That's all they need to do, dude's got Hunter's computer and videos, but if MSM dismisses it, than it's all conjecture, rumors, and they dismiss it to their viewers.

Yep. Big tech/media has decided that this is a non-story. I expect people to start getting their accounts locked if they continue to re-tweet it.

Let's face it, would Wray's FBI investigate it anyway? Of course not.

Sen Hawley sent Zuckerberg a letter which might get an "ooooh" in the DC bubble but as a practical matter in the real word it's pretty useless.



Looks like Chuck Ross tried to re-tweet it a minute or so ago and it won't let him.



Not even the editor of the paper that published it can push his story...

^^^ Twitter Labels NYPost Hunter Biden Expose As "Unsafe", Won't Allow Users To Share

If you thought Twitter's censorship of the NYPost Hunter Biden expose couldn't get anymore Orwellian, well, you were wrong.
As if preventing users from sharing the link wasn't enough, the platform has now deleted the NYP's initial tweet.

Twitter's 'Public Policy' director left to join Biden's transition team along with Facebook's director of government relations. But, they are not biased or anything... Roll Eyes

I have a bet with my buddy on how long twitter will "mistakenly" lock the accounts of Trump and other prominent conservatives on election day. I say it will take between 6-8 hours to fix the "glitch", he says only 3-4. Whoever comes closest buys the beer.

Well, as other said this is now shining a big bright light right at Twitter and Facebook and you know President Trump is seeing ALL of this.

This may backfire spectacularly on them.

Joe Biden's spokesman said the story wasn't true so we shall believe that and ask no more questions nor even acknowledge the story's existence. Wink

I'm thinking at the second (originally third) and final Trump-Biden debate, Trump should just respond to EVERY topic and question with nothing but this Hunter Biden news. Hunter-Hunter-Hunter-Hunter-Hunter-Hunter-Hunter

That will make Joe go insane in very short time and he'll be babbling gibberish by the end! Big Grin



Shocker Roll Eyes

Just went to the Drudge Report page and did a word search on "Hunter Biden".
ONE tiny generic-sounding blurb buried halfway down the page.

WTF happened to this guy? He would have LOVED to have a scoop like this back in the day! Red alarm sirens blazing at the top of the page! Headline News!

I am completely confident that if you replaced the Bidens names with Trump and one of his sons and ran the exact same story Twitter and Facebook would do the exact same thing to stop the spread of "disinformation" Roll Eyes

It's way past time for the US Congress to severely hurt Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg by removing all of their current legal liability protections. As a matter of fact, the Congress should actually make it 'easier' for people and organizations to sue Tweeter and Farcebook. Mad

“We’ve always said that electing Joe Biden was a doorway, not a destination,”

A recently revealed policy charter developed by left-wing activist groups and intended for implementation by a Biden administration calls for guaranteed housing, raising the minimum wage, public ownership stakes in all corporations receiving bailouts, universal healthcare, expanded unemployment insurance for illegal immigrants, defunding police, and repairing “historic harms” while ending “systemic racism.” Progressive members of Congress, including the far-left “Squad,” have pledged to use the charter as a “legislative blueprint” to achieve what they have long desired to.

Titled the “People’s Charter,” the new initiative provides a radical “roadmap” of progressive ambitions, claiming it can “heal the wounds from the pandemic, the economic depression, and a history of racism.” The charter has put into writing a list of legislative demands by far-left groups that are currently mobilizing millions of voters on behalf of the Biden-Harris ticket in order to achieve tangible victories and shift the Democratic party further to the left.

National Director of WFP Maurice Mitchell, having initially endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary, plans to use the new charter, which “presents what a governing agenda for the nation must entail,” as a means to garner support from the far left-wing base to go out and vote Biden.

“We’ve always said that electing Joe Biden was a doorway, not a destination,” said Mitchell. “The People’s Charter is that destination.”
