Opinion: The New York Post puts Twitter and Facebook in a no-win position

LA Times  

The New York Post published a story Wednesday about Joe Biden and his son Hunter that read suspiciously like disinformation. It also set the stage for the sort of outrage Republicans displayed Wednesday, when they assumed Twitter and Facebook were objecting to the Post’s piece because it criticized Biden — which both services credibly argued they weren’t doing. As Sen. Mike Lee pointedly noted, Facebook and Twitter freely spread links to the BuzzFeed story in 2016 that revealed the contents of a notorious dossier of wild and damaging allegations about then-candidate Donald Trump. Nevertheless, President Trump and his supporters complained that Facebook and Twitter were meddling in the election by preventing links to the Post story from going viral on their platforms. https://t.co/1KiKCAJijD — Ted Cruz October 14, 2020 Please note that Cruz was able to convey the key political aspects of the story even as he complained about Twitter serving Joe Biden’s interests.
