It is one of the biggest nothingburgers in recent history. Please, in specific detail, list anything that was illegal or even unethical that was revealed.

For example, the White House Press Secretary had her account frozen for tweeting about a New York Post article about Hunters laptop in the month before the 2020 election. I would say that was an abuse of power and an unethical decision by twitter.[/quote]

Twitter made a decision that the laptop story violated its terms of service. The White House Press Secretary violated the terms of service and had her account frozen until she removed the tweet in question. That is not unethical. To the contrary, it would have been unethical to allow the Press Secretary to violate terms of service to which others were held to account.

But why did the media decide to suppress the laptop story? Did the Biden campaign request they suppress it? Did the media/twitter  want Biden to win and suppress/manipulate the facts? Is that OK?[/quote]
Even Taibbi didn’t find evidence that the Biden campaign was involved in the laptop story decision.

They didn't find John Podesta was involved in the "Russia Dossier" until he admitted in deposition under oath 
that the DNC and the Clinton campaign each paid 50 percent of the cost to purchase it.

BTW, not everything is in writing. That's why you investigate and perform discovery.

Do you really believe what you've seen so far is the totality of what went on?[/quote]

Discovery?  You seem confused and are acting like what was released was somehow under adversarial circumstances.  That is not the case.  Elon Musk has control of all of Twitter's internal correspondence and that's what he handed over to Taibbi.[/quote]

Maybe he can use neuralink to hack Biden’s brain too.[/quote]

Maybe the Biden admin FCC should fine Twitter for wrongdoing over suppressing the Biden laptop story and helping Biden get elected. Sounds about right. Companies need to be held accountable.[/quote]

Accountable for what? What law or regulation did Twitter break? 
[/quote]

Let's see if their suppression and selective dissemination of information at Democrat request, is considered to be election interference. [/quote]

But there was suppression by the request of the Trump White House as well. Is that also election interference?

Also, what is illegal with a private company selectively publishing information? Do you deny that Fox News or any other media outlet is selective? If not, where is my prime time show on Fox? Why is Fox interfering with elections by not broadcasting my opinions?

If they are selectively publishing then they are not a platform, and lose Sec 230 protection.

It appears lower level employees banned the laptop story and links to NY Post to protect Biden, coming up with an excuse of hacking, and after they realized this was bogus, no one was willing to undo the decision, again because they wanted to protect Biden.
The Democrats in the FBI knew the laptop story was likely to come out, and preemptively went to tech companies and told them Russian disinformation was likely to come out.

You are wrong about Section 230. If you were correct, nobody could moderate anything. Platforms absolutely have the right to enforce their terms of service.

You have no way of knowing the motivations of the Twitter employees beyond what is mentioned in their emails saying that they viewed the Post story as violating their TOS regarding hacking. You are simply making things up.
[/quote]

Please take the time to educate yourself about the import and parameters of Section 230.
