What lies did the FBI tell about the laptop and its contents?I may have been unclear. It was Twitter who changed their mind a day or two after the ban. That doesn't mean the story was true; in fact it was full of inaccuracies apart from the authentication issue. They just decided banning it was the wrong thing to do.Quote:You said the following:Quote:I don't know, I'm still waiting for someone to tell me when they supposedly lied.Quote:For what you are saying to be true... the FBI didn't investigate the laptop until just a few weeks ago??Quote:Of course the FBI was investigating it. That's one of the reasons Twitter was suspicious. When they "finally" admitted they made a mistake banning the story, it was all of a day or two later.Quote:Well no wonder you are so wrong, and you keep spouting data that is over 12 months old.Quote:Not much.Quote:
Have you not followed the story?
Over the past 90 days, multiple reports have been released showing that investigations into the laptop and the data on the harddrive are authentic and there is NO information to support the claim that Russia was involved with the laptop.
The Twitter files also back up the "conspiracy theory" that the FBI was giving direction to Twitter to suppress the Hunter Biden story, and to spread the false claim that it was just "Russian disinformation".
Do you really think that the FBI didn't have the resources or intellect to determine that the laptop wasn't linked to Russia? %A0The FBI had that laptop in their possession for months before the NY Post story broke. %A0Do you think that the FBI never investigated it? %A0How is it that CBS and other bastions of conservatism have finally admitted the truth that that laptop was real, and that censoring it was "probably wrong"?
Pull you head out! %A0The FBI knew exactly what they were doing, and they did it anyway. %A0Twitter, Facebook, CBS, CNN and the rest of them all played along without doing ANY investigation of their own... because it fit the overall goal of removing Trump from office.
This is NOT a conspiracy theory.
All of the "conspiracy theories" about Covid have been proven to be true, and now the same has happened with the collusion between Big Tech and government to alter the election... and yet you continue to think that these proven liars are telling you the truth? %A0What is wrong with you?
I'm glad you brought up the Covid nonsense, and not only because it instantly discredits everything else you just said. It also happens to be the original subject of this hopelessly benighted thread that we've hijacked for the last few pages. I propose that we move on from the tempest in the teapot that is the Biden laptop controversy and get back on topic.
The FBI had the laptop for months BEFORE they told Twitter to suppress the story. %A0So either they are totally incompetent (didn't investigate for well over 2 years) or they knowingly suppressed and lied about the laptop. %A0So which is it?
"Of course the FBI was investigating it. That's one of the reasons Twitter was suspicious. When they "finally" admitted they made a mistake banning the story, it was all of a day or two later."
When exactly did this happen in your mind? %A0When was this "day or two later"... when did this happen?
what an astoundingly self-serving misremembering of history

With just a few weeks to go before the Nov. 3 vote, the social media companies are continuing to shift their policies and, in some cases, are entirely reversing what they will and won't allow on their sites. On Friday, Twitter underlined just how fluid its policies were when it began letting users share links to an unsubstantiated New York Post article about Hunter Biden that it had previously blocked from its service.
The change was a 180-degree turn from Wednesday, when Twitter had banned the links to the article because the emails on which it was based may have been hacked and contained private information, both of which violated its policies. (Many questions remain about how the New York Post obtained the emails.)
