I've been calling for more fairness and transparency in social media for years. Of course the tweet is irrelevant; its only purpose is to catch Fauci in a "lie." And as usual it's the anti-vax loons who are lying.

I don't think you realize how much DC controls information.

People take jobs in their areas of expertise. That's not an intelligible theory of how the government controls one website, much less how it controls information.

---

The next time government looks at a new communication technology and doesn't seek to abuse it for its own benefit will be the first time.

---

Sure, and that includes other governments as well. We're always trying to monitor and combat foreign propaganda. That's a legitimate role for a former fed.

---

Monitor, combat and pretend that something that isn't "foreign propaganda" actually is "foreign propaganda" so as to influence the outcome of an election in the United States.

---

Maybe. But establishing it will take more than the fact that Fauci truthfully answered a question about his daughter.

---

No, not maybe as it was "established" some time ago. This disinformation campaign grew out of a desire to create doubt sufficient to protect a corrupt political candidate. The story itself was also deliberately suppressed on social media, despite an absence of evidence against it.

None of this, by the way, make Trump anything other than corrupt himself, but this is a clear case of trying to protect a corrupt politician because you don't like the other guy.

To say the Biden laptop had the hallmarks of Russian propaganda isn't disinformation. It's an understatement. Everything about the scenario, from the provenance of the device to the condition of the data itself, reeked of manipulation. None of that means Twitter isn't biased, but it doesn't mean they deliberately skewed an election either.

What makes you think it wasn't the company's strategy to be a vehicle to control/influence government, and hired people accordingly? Private companies do that all the time from defense to technology, etc. in other areas. Except instead of trying to influence something like what direction future weaponry strategy goes, this was intended to influence and suppress the political and public policy direction through a coordinated manipulation of information by government and non government actors. Ironically, this is how agencies like the CIA and foreign intelligence services have influenced countries around the world for decades.

---

What makes you think it was? My explanation is simpler. Defense and technology companies are trying to sell weapons and technology. There's no obvious reason why suppressing political speech would be good for Twitter's bottom line.

When you suppress a story that has been vetted by professional journalists (who turned out to have the story right) and the effect of your suppression is to benefit one candidate over another, that "reeks of manipulation."

Surely you're kidding. You honestly think Russia would plant a phony laptop in a random repair shop in the hopes the owner would eventually make it public?

There was literally no reason to believe it was "Russian disinformation" other than the fact the regressives did not like it, which I do realize is the new definition of "disinformation."

---

Wrong. The value is what you are allowed to do with that audience and data within its short messaging platform. You know, influence. From consumer and business products and services (ads), social trends, sports, public policy, politics, etc. Well before COVID, J6, or any of the recent hot buttons, Twitter was trying and being used to counter "misinformation". The question then, and as we are finding out more, who were the arbiters of misinformation, hate speech, censoring, etc. and who/what determined what did and didn't deserve to be suppressed through algorithms and evaluation teams. Then there's the why.

The fact you can't first acknowledge how easy that is to manipulate, and/or that it was, is mind boggling. As a private company it was fine until it colludes with political forces and government actors to support outcomes. At the bare minimum it functions as a media like entity (which it carries protections from being), or advocacy service. At the worst, a shadow enterprise functioning similar to a political/policy front operation.

The laptop was left by a person claiming to be Hunter Biden. He left no contact information. The shop owner couldn't identify the person because he is legally blind. He contacted Rudy Giuliani, who was busy looking for dirt on the Bidens at the time. Almost all the forensic analyses found profuse evidence of tampering, and they were unable to verify many of the emails. It was also known since January 2020 that Russia had hacked Burisma and stolen email credentials. The owner himself complained that some of the information reported in the media was false.

Quote:

---

In their examinations, Green and Williams found evidence that people other than Hunter Biden had accessed the drive and written files to it, both before and after the initial stories in the New York Post and long after the laptop itself had been turned over to the FBI.

Maxey had alerted The Washington Post to this issue in advance, saying that others had accessed the data to examine its contents and make copies of files. But the lack of what experts call a "clean chain of custody" undermined Green's and Williams's ability to determine the authenticity of most of the drive's contents.

"The drive is a mess," Green said.

Approximately 128,500 emails allegedly from the Hunter Biden laptop. The emails are primarily dated between 2009 and 2019. There are some anomalies with the dates and the number of emails, in addition to concerns about the chain of custody. There are considerable issues with this dataset including signs of tampering. See below.

More than one altered or implanted emails was detected in a version of this dataset, which is being distributed by Trump allies and former staffers. The known possibly tampered emails were created between August 31, 2020 and September 2, 2020. The existence of other possibly tampered emails cannot be ruled out.

Giuliani has met with and worked with Andrii Derkach, who the Treasury Department considers "an active Russian agent" and who was alleged by the DNI to be using leaks to undermine the candidacy of Joe Biden. Giuliani estimated the odds that he'd worked with a Russian spy "no better than 50/50". According to Derkach, the "incriminating" information is on the second laptop - further indicating his possible involvement.

I've been calling for more fairness and transparency in social media for years. Of course the tweet is irrelevant; its only purpose is to catch Fauci in a "lie." And as usual it's the anti-vax loons who are lying.

I don't think you realize how much DC controls information.

-Fauci's daughter worked for Twitter

People take jobs in their areas of expertise. That's not an intelligible theory of how the government controls one website, much less how it controls information.

---

The next time government looks at a new communication technology and doesn't seek to abuse it for its own benefit will be the first time.

---

Sure, and that includes other governments as well. We're always trying to monitor and combat foreign propaganda. That's a legitimate role for a former fed.

---

Monitor, combat and pretend that something that isn't "foreign propaganda" actually is "foreign propaganda" so as to influence the outcome of an election in the United States.

---

Maybe. But establishing it will take more than the fact that Fauci truthfully answered a question about his daughter.

---

No, not maybe as it was "established" some time ago. This disinformation campaign grew out of a desire to create doubt sufficient to protect a corrupt political candidate. The story itself was also deliberately suppressed on social media, despite an absence of evidence against it.

None of this, by the way, make Trump anything other than corrupt himself, but this is a clear case of trying to protect a corrupt politician because you don't like the other guy.

To say the Biden laptop had the hallmarks of Russian propaganda isn't disinformation. It's an understatement. Everything about the scenario, from the provenance of the device to the condition of the data itself, reeked of manipulation. None of that means Twitter isn't biased, but it doesn't mean they deliberately skewed an election either.

---

Surely you're kidding. You honestly think Russia would plant a phony laptop in a random repair shop in the hopes the owner would eventually make it public? Honestly, ask yourself it that really makes sense to you. There was literally no reason to believe it was "Russian disinformation" other than the fact the regressives did not like it, which I do realize is the new definition of "disinformation."

---

There was and is plenty of reason. You don't have to plant a fake laptop if there's a real one you can tamper with.

---

So how did it play out in your mind? Computer shop repair owner contacts the Russian agent in his phone, and that agent comes over and puts a bunch of fake news on the laptop?

---

The laptop was left by a person claiming to be Hunter Biden. He left no contact information. The shop owner couldn't identify the person because he is legally blind. He contacted Rudy Giuliani, who was busy looking for dirt on the Bidens at the time. Almost all the forensic analyses found profuse evidence of tampering, and they were unable to verify many of the emails. It was also known since January 2020 that Russia had hacked Burisma and stolen email credentials. The owner himself complained that some of the information reported in the media was false.

I don't think you realize how much DC controls information.

-Fauci's daughter worked for Twitter
-John Podesta's niece worked for Twitter "Trust & Safety"
-former FBI general counsel James Baker was Twitter's deputy legal counsel
-former CIA and FBI operative Jeff Carlton was Head of Twitter's Strategic Response Team

---

People take jobs in their areas of expertise. That's not an intelligible theory of how the government controls one website, much less how it controls information.

---

The next time government looks at a new communication technology and doesn't seek to abuse it for its own benefit will be the first time.

---

Sure, and that includes other governments as well. We're always trying to monitor and combat foreign propaganda. That's a legitimate role for a former fed.

---

Monitor, combat and pretend that something that isn't "foreign propaganda" actually is "foreign propaganda" so as to influence the outcome of an election in the United States.

---

Maybe. But establishing it will take more than the fact that Fauci truthfully answered a question about his daughter.

---

No, not maybe as it was "established" some time ago. This disinformation campaign grew out of a desire to create doubt sufficient to protect a corrupt political candidate. The story itself was also deliberately suppressed on social media, despite an absence of evidence against it.

None of this, by the way, make Trump anything other than corrupt himself, but this is a clear case of trying to protect a corrupt politician because you don't like the other guy.

To say the Biden laptop had the hallmarks of Russian propaganda isn't disinformation. It's an understatement. Everything about the scenario, from the provenance of the device to the condition of the data itself, reeked of manipulation. None of that means Twitter isn't biased, but it doesn't mean they deliberately skewed an election either.

---

Surely you're kidding. You honestly think Russia would plant a phony laptop in a random repair shop in the hopes the owner would eventually make it public? Honestly, ask yourself it that really makes sense to you. There was literally no reason to believe it was "Russian disinformation" other than the fact the regressives did not like it, which I do realize is the new definition of "disinformation."

---

There was and is plenty of reason. You don't have to plant a fake laptop if there's a real one you can tamper with.

---

So how did it play out in your mind? Computer shop repair owner contacts the Russian agent in his phone, and that agent comes over and puts a bunch of fake news on the laptop?

---

The laptop was left by a person claiming to be Hunter Biden. He left no contact information. The shop owner couldn't identify the person because he is legally blind. He contacted Rudy Giuliani, who was busy looking for dirt on the Bidens at the time. Almost all the forensic analyses found profuse evidence of tampering, and they were unable to verify many of the emails. It was also known since January 2020 that Russia had hacked Burisma and stolen email credentials. The owner himself complained that some of the information reported in the media was false.

I never said it wasn't. I said it had been tampered with.

Quick refresher on debunking -- it means exposing something as false or a sham. If the matter is in real dispute and your source is virtually alone against all the other experts, you have not yet "debunked" anything. For example:

Quote:

---

In their examinations, Green and Williams found evidence that people other than Hunter Biden had accessed the drive and written files to it, both before and after the initial stories in the New York Post and long after the laptop itself had been turned over to the FBI.

Maxey had alerted The Washington Post to this issue in advance, saying that others had accessed the data to examine its contents and make copies of files. But the lack of what experts call a "clean chain of custody" undermined Green's and Williams's ability to determine the authenticity of most of the drive's contents.

"The drive is a mess," Green said.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/30/hunter-biden-laptop-data-examined/

---

Quote:

---

Approximately 128,500 emails allegedly from the Hunter Biden laptop. The emails are primarily dated between 2009 and 2019. There are some anomalies with the dates and the number of emails, in addition to concerns about the chain of custody. There are considerable issues with this dataset including signs of tampering. See below.

More than one altered or implanted emails was detected in a version of this dataset, which is being distributed by Trump allies and former staffers. The known possibly tampered emails were created between August 31, 2020 and September 2, 2020. The existence of other possibly tampered emails cannot be ruled out.

Giuliani has met with and worked with Andrii Derkach, who the Treasury Department considers "an active Russian agent" and who was alleged by the DNI to be using leaks to undermine the candidacy of Joe Biden. Giuliani estimated the odds that he'd worked with a Russian spy "no better than 50/50". According to Derkach, the "incriminating" information is on the second laptop - further indicating his possible involvement.

Shut the front door ... are you actually suggesting if you take your laptop to a laptop repair shop someone might access the laptop? That is Earth-shattering. Next you're going to tell me if I take my car to a mechanic someone might get inside of it.

---

Would you expect them to insert folders with titles like "Big Guy File" and "Salacious Pics Package?"

Honestly, ask yourself it that really makes sense to you. There was literally no reason to believe it was "Russian disinformation" other than the fact the regressives did not like it, which I do realize is the new definition of "disinformation."

---

There was and is plenty of reason. You don't have to plant a fake laptop if there's a real one you can tamper with.

---

So how did it play out in your mind? Computer shop repair owner contacts the Russian agent in his phone, and that agent comes over and puts a bunch of fake news on the laptop?

---

The laptop was left by a person claiming to be Hunter Biden. He left no contact information. The shop owner couldn't identify the person because he is legally blind. He contacted Rudy Giuliani, who was busy looking for dirt on the Bidens at the time. Almost all the forensic analyses found profuse evidence of tampering, and they were unable to verify many of the emails. It was also known since January 2020 that Russia had hacked Burisma and stolen email credentials. The owner himself complained that some of the information reported in the media was false.

Quick refresher on debunking -- it means exposing something as false or a sham. If the matter is in real dispute and your source is virtually alone against all the other experts, you have not yet "debunked" anything. For example:

In their examinations, Green and Williams found evidence that people other than Hunter Biden had accessed the drive and written files to it, both before and after the initial stories in the New York Post and long after the laptop itself had been turned over to the FBI.

Maxey had alerted The Washington Post to this issue in advance, saying that others had accessed the data to examine its contents and make copies of files. But the lack of what experts call a "clean chain of custody" undermined Green's and Williams's ability to determine the authenticity of most of the drive's contents.

"The drive is a mess," Green said.

Approximately 128,500 emails allegedly from the Hunter Biden laptop. The emails are primarily dated between 2009 and 2019. There are some anomalies with the dates and the number of emails, in addition to concerns about the chain of custody. There are considerable issues with this dataset including signs of tampering. See below.

More than one altered or implanted emails was detected in a version of this dataset, which is being distributed by Trump allies and former staffers. The known possibly tampered emails were created between August 31, 2020 and September 2, 2020. The existence of other possibly tampered emails cannot be ruled out.

Giuliani has met with and worked with Andrii Derkach, who the Treasury Department considers "an active Russian agent" and who was alleged by the DNI to be using leaks to undermine the candidacy of Joe Biden. Giuliani estimated the odds that he'd worked with a Russian spy "no better than 50/50". According to Derkach, the "incriminating" information is on the second laptop - further indicating his possible involvement.

Shut the front door ... are you actually suggesting if you take your laptop to a laptop repair shop someone might access the laptop? That is Earth-shattering. Next you're going to tell me if I take my car to a mechanic someone might get inside of it.

---

Would you expect them to insert folders with titles like "Big Guy File" and "Salacious Pics Package?"

---

They didn't. But it's much more believable a strip-mall computer repair man in Delaware has an extensive network of Russian spies on speed dial.

I've been calling for more fairness and transparency in social media for years. Of course the tweet is irrelevant; its only purpose is to catch Fauci in a "lie." And as usual it's the anti-vax loons who are lying.

I don't think you realize how much DC controls information.

-Fauci's daughter worked for Twitter
-John Podesta's niece worked for Twitter "Trust & Safety"
-former FBI general counsel James Baker was Twitter's deputy legal counsel
-former CIA and FBI operative Jeff Carlton was Head of Twitter's Strategic Response Team

---

People take jobs in their areas of expertise. That's not an intelligible theory of how the government controls one website, much less how it controls information.

---

What makes you think it wasn't the company's strategy to be a vehicle to control/influence government, and hired people accordingly? Private companies do that all the time from defense to technology, etc. in other areas. Except instead of trying to influence something like what direction future weaponry strategy goes, this was intended to influence and suppress the political and public policy direction through a coordinated manipulation of information by government and non government actors. Ironically, this is how agencies like the CIA and foreign intelligence services have influenced countries around the world for decades.

---

What makes you think it was? My explanation is simpler. Defense and technology companies are trying to sell weapons and technology. There's no obvious reason why suppressing political speech would be good for Twitter's bottom line.

---

You can't be serious. Its literal value, while rarely if ever profitable, is as an influencer in politics and culture. It's been preached since the beginning.

---

The literal value is the audience and the data it provides.

---

Wrong. The value is what you are allowed to do with that audience and data within its short messaging platform. You know, influence. From consumer and business products and services (ads), social trends, sports, public policy, politics, etc. Well before COVID, J6, or any of the recent hot buttons, Twitter was trying and being used to counter "misinformation". The question then, and as we are finding out more, who were the arbiters of misinformation, hate speech, censoring, etc. and who/what determined what did and didn't deserve to be suppressed through algorithms and evaluation teams. Then there's the why.

The fact you can't first acknowledge how easy that is to manipulate, and/or that it was, is mind boggling. As a private company it was fine until it colludes with political forces and government actors to support outcomes. At the bare minimum it functions as a media like entity (which it carries protections from being), or advocacy service. At the worst, a shadow enterprise functioning similar to a political/policy front operation.

---

That's the value people get (or think they get) from posting there. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Twitter's value as a business. I'm well aware that it can be manipulated.

The next time government looks at a new communication technology and doesn't seek to abuse it for its own benefit will be the first time.

---

Sure, and that includes other governments as well. We're always trying to monitor and combat foreign propaganda. That's a legitimate role for a former fed.

---

Monitor, combat and pretend that something that isn't "foreign propaganda" actually is "foreign propaganda" so as to influence the outcome of an election in the United States.

---

Maybe. But establishing it will take more than the fact that Fauci truthfully answered a question about his daughter.

---

No, not maybe as it was "established" some time ago. This disinformation campaign grew out of a desire to create doubt sufficient to protect a corrupt political candidate. The story itself was also deliberately suppressed on social media, despite an absence of evidence against it.

None of this, by the way, make Trump anything other than corrupt himself, but this is a clear case of trying to protect a corrupt politician because you don't like the other guy.

To say the Biden laptop had the hallmarks of Russian propaganda isn't disinformation. It's an understatement. Everything about the scenario, from the provenance of the device to the condition of the data itself, reeked of manipulation. None of that means Twitter isn't biased, but it doesn't mean they deliberately skewed an election either.

---

Hallmarks of Russian propaganda is not a thing

You either have evidence it's Russian based or you don't. You can't just speculate and say "its likely Russian propaganda", which is exactly what media and even the FBI said without evidence to back that claim up.

The media has since admitted the laptop is authentic. The FBI took custody of the laptop on 12/9/2019...10 months prior to the censored NY Post story. On, or before 12/9/2019 the FBI knew the laptop and the recovered emails were authentic. So why did the FBI pretend otherwise in October 2020?

Not true. We still don't know how many of the emails are authentic.
