After Twitter blocked a bombshell New York Post story on Wednesday alleging to have files from a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, Republicans came up with a clever plan to get around the big tech giant’s censoring.

 

The House Judiciary Committee Republicans on Wednesday republished the New York Post story on their official government website.

They did this knowing Twitter would censor it, and thus Twitter is violating election laws. A smart move. The next part is if anything useful happens following the FEC complaint by the GOP. 

 

On the subject of publishers, I wouldn't trust "Jack Posobiec" either, and the fact that a Pizzagate conspiracy theorist is winding up more reliable of a publisher of information than the beloved mainstream news tells you all you need to know about the mainstream news, who's avoiding this as much as Steel.

Steel is attacking everything under the sun but the actual information here. 

 

   Well I did post the link to the FBI investigating the entire story as a hack job. I guess your 10X logic dictated you sidestep that with a brush off.

Breaking news: "Hacking" doesn't speak to whether or not something is true, only the methodology behind its acquisition. 

 

Is this information troubling for you?

  Obviously you chose not to read the linked article. 10X logic would dictate you do that next time before formulating your response.

That's not the meaning of "hack" I read -- I read it as "hack job" as opposed to hacking.

    They are specifically talking about the documents released being PDF copies of the emails, which means the could have been altered. They were also created several months after the laptop was dropped off.

I don't mean the twitter blocking, that was all over the news.  I meant them using an official government website to re-publish the story.

In every context here, relating to Twitter, and the FBI, "hack" is exactly what normal people understand hack means. Good try though.

That could've just been when they were copied, especially to another device. As someone who has repeatedly moved information from drives, about 75% of the time the creation date is altered. Again, this speaks nothing to whether or not the information is true, just how it was acquired. That's generally why people use logic and don't spend 5 seconds on Google or Wikipedia attacking publishers and everything under the sun.

Yep -- I know. But when I read "hack job," I see "load of old rubbish put together by someone who doesn't really know what they're doing" -- which fits nicely as well.

What other format would you have preferred them to be published as?

None. It's clearly some very upsetting information. Flashbacks of Hillary's emails and whatnot.
