‘Twitter Files’ on Hunter Biden Paint Worse Picture of Twitter than Bidens

When Elon Musk and Matt Taibbi teamed up to release a number of files that offered a peek into the internal discussions at Twitter over blocking a New York Post story, it was revealing.

Some assumed it would be a new info drop about Hunter Biden and what President Joe Biden’s son got up to that many consider damaging to the country.

But it was less revealing about Biden and more revealing about the shady inner workings of a social media company that decided to insert itself between the news and the public. That’s not to say that what the public doesn’t know about Hunter Biden are all butterflies and rainbows – but what we do know about Twitter is anything but.

What the now-called “Twitter Files” revealed was that Twitter’s senior management (without checking in with CEO Jack Dorsey) unilaterally decided to block the distribution of a New York Post article that shared a bunch of salacious and damning details about the President’s son.

Twitter management said that the story contained “hacked materials,” although they did not provide evidence for their assertion.

It shows how dangerous it can be to allow news to disseminate through social media, which is – ultimately – run through poorly-regulated private channels.

What it did not show (and many expected) was a directive from the government from Biden himself to squash the information.

Some considered the drop a nothing-burger, but it was actually a revelation about the unilateral nature of social media.
