Who was it that suppressed Hunter Biden story or asked for "antivaxxer" doctors to be shut down on FB/Twitter?

Sure, you will find some kind of excuses for the above, but the unbiased fact is that both sides engage in silencing of free speech according to their political agenda.

As a centrist

suppressed Hunter Biden story

“antivaxxer”

lmao

I know, it's ridiculous for people to simultaneously agree and disagree with things said on both sides of political spectrum. I should work on one party unanimity, my bad.

By the way... While you're laughing your ass of, Hunter Biden story (no matter what you think of it) wasn't supressed on all social media?

That must be why nobody's heard of it!

Yes, story broke out eventually, but it was silenced on social media when it broke because of political orders - a fact. I don't know why saying that automatically makes people wince in horror. Both sides of political spectrum engage in silencing free speech when needed.

You do realize that most people here are on some kind of social media?

You can keep saying that the story was silenced, but I've heard about it non-stop for years because the right has been pushing the story hard.

So... definitely not a fact. Your echo chamber is not reality.

It was silenced, contrary to free speech, because when the news broke NY Post was blocked on all social media and a link to the story couldn't be shared in any way (post or message).

Who's literally burning books that were removed from schools?

Post got duplicated... Right wingers do. And who was deplatforming people during covid on social networks?
