Censorship of Political Reporting
The 2020 decision by major tech platforms to suppress reporting on the Biden family’s business dealings illustrates a significant moment of political censorship. Twitter and Facebook justified their actions by falsely claiming that the articles violated their policies against sharing hacked documents. The documents in question, sourced from Hunter Biden’s laptop, were not hacked but were dismissed as Russian disinformation. This suppression has been viewed as a blatant interference in the electoral process, raising concerns about the integrity of information shared during elections.
