Suppression is a bigger scandal than the actual story
I fear Taibbi is right, the suppression by Twitter, irrespective of the merits and veracity of NY Post's report, will now normalize all kinds of behavior by platforms of all kinds big and small. Which will then incentivize governments to take on the platforms. This also raises issues of unequal treatment - say the NY Post report was factually wrong - why pick on the NY Post only? Why not the hundreds of other "news organizations" peddling unverified and factually incorrect reports on Twitter.I wish it did not come to this. I feel this action will uncork second order effects which we will come to rue for a long time.Edit: This story was flagged which is unbelievable.
