Yep it was!
"it" is carrying a lot of weight.
Even the laptop has been proven to belong to him.
The onus is on you to prove it isn't Hunters laptop.

"Among the elite, and within Twitter specifically, there is much more inclination to ban the right. I say this as someone whose political views, if you force them onto the left-right spectrum, probably end up about 80% toward the left. E.g. I've spent millions over the past several elections supporting the Democrats. It used to be that censorship was something the right did, and free speech was something the left wer…
I’m pro censorship. We have and need speech norms. The left and right are not equal. The left does not rely as much on lies to advocate its positions, and the left is not as oriented around destruction and regression as the right. We need a more robust understanding of speech than “allowed or not”. Emphasis & volume matters.
If you listen to the intolerant wing of the right, the parts that would legitimately support overturning elections and arresting political opponents, they sound eerily similar to your sentiment.

"does not rely as much on lies to advocate its positions" To be honest, that's hilariously false. The left suppressed Hunter Biden's laptop story for two years, saying it was misinformation, before admitting it was true. The IRS targeted right-wing and Christian non-profit organizations deliberately for auditing. Obama claimed that forcing nuns to buy health insurance covering birth control was necessary, and claimed…
Please, do go on and on. You can stop when you get to the left attempting to overturn the American presidential election. Edit: are our neoliberal overlords a bunch of cold hearted shit heads? Yes. Should we elect and promote barely disguised fascists in response? No.

You know this how? Because you were that guy?
Mellosouls posted a link to a toxic source, and the article doesn’t even have anything in it except empty speculation based on nonsense. Brutal. Either the psyops have reached HN or the level of intellectual honesty about these topics is trash. Or both.

those modern lefts.. just look at russia. censorship is how it all started there.
Something needs to be done. Free speech maximalism is a threat.
Many people have commented that it is empty. However what they do not realize is that there has never actually been an algorithm and that is why it is empty.

> I think it's just a dog whistle to the people who believe google have a guy in a room somewhere turning the "conservative search results" lever down a notch during elections. Even if that's precisely true, is it not good to be creating a more trusted space for everyone? The grievances, regardless of merit, are mostly coming from the right. If you want to create a service that caters to all you're going to have to a…
My whole point is that the task is sufficiently impossible (either technically or in terms of satisfying people) that aiming to do it feels like pure bluster. It will never be fair - you can interpret that sentence however you see fit.
But couldn't it at least be better?

I'm a firm believer in the horseshoe theory. If you listen to the intolerant wing of the right, the parts that would legitimately support overturning elections and arresting political opponents, they sound eerily similar to your sentiment.
It’s a thought stopping theory that allows you to remain smug and correct despite being deeply ignorant.

Huh. I remember when the left had Maxine Waters saying to publicly harass voters of the opposite political party, and during the 2016 election when they tried to harass and dox the electors in hope that would prevent Trump from being elected.
Who the fuck cares about Maxine waters?
