On October 14, 2020, the New York Post published emails from Hunter Biden's laptop. Within hours, Twitter banned all links to the story and locked the Post's account. Facebook algorithmically suppressed it. Mark Zuckerberg later admitted on Joe Rogan's podcast that the FBI warned Facebook to 'be on high alert' for Russian disinformation — despite the FBI knowing since 2019 the laptop was genuine. Internal Facebook communications showed executives concerned about how suppression would 'colour' the incoming Biden administration's view of them.
Social media platforms coordinated to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election
“Big Tech companies are coordinating to suppress a legitimate news story about Hunter Biden's laptop right before the election, and the FBI is behind it despite knowing the laptop is real.”
