Excellent! It is not up to Twitter to decide which stories are factual, and which are not. Twitter is not judge jury, & executioner.

This is political biased, plain and simple. They must be made to fall under the FCC like every other media company.

Absolutely. It doesn't matter whether the laptop info is legitimate or not (I'll admit it sounds a bit opportunistic), but they're still interfering.

Let's hope the subpoena of Jack gives him so grief over his actions.

The Media is owned by rich Democrats who have decided what the American people should know. That is censorship and I myself have deleted my Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Since then he seems on a mission to stop any and everyone who might "tweet" something that could help Trump or harm his opponent, this time around, that being Biden/Harris.

I am not on twitter, but heard several peoples accounts were warned/sanctioned for tweeting information about Harris's Dad/family being slave owners in Jamaica. Assuming twitter did that, and combined with other leftist rubbish that never gets censored, it seems pretty obvious to many that he/twitter is trying to interfere with the election.

All part of the Distributed Idea Suppression Complex (DISC) as outlined by Eric Weinstein (no fan of DJT BTW). Here is another real world example of the DISC in action:

It makes Orwell’s vision from 1984 seem tame in comparison.

I think these social media groups are contributing to their own demise, fortunately, as more of these incidents are exposed.
The comments below the link above are VERY telling, and at least one other "journalist" is supporting the censorship. For anyone wanting to know the credential of Ahmari:

Is it truly any wonder that so many people are saying that the liberals have overtaken U.S. journalism?

They and other social media platforms (like Youtube) have been publishers for a long time now...

And they never censored any of the Russian hoax garbage they ran on Trump for 4 years.
