Facebook and Twitter took action on Wednesday to limit the distribution of a New York Post story making unconfirmed claims about Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, leading President Trump’s campaign and allies to charge the companies with censorship.
There is outrage tonight all across social media as Conservatives are finding their articles not being allowed to be shared, and in some cases, finding themselves locked out of their accounts on Twitter and Facebook. Why is this happening? Because the New York Post released a story showing emails from Hunter Biden proving that Democratic candidate for president Joe Biden lied repeatedly about what he knew about the Burisma Ukraine scandal. When that much truth gets out 20 days before the election, the Liberals who run Twitter and Facebook start turning off Conservative voices. It’s the only way they can win, but as we see, it is only increasing voter support for President Trump.

Facebook And Twitter Limit Sharing New York Post Story About Joe Biden Prompting Outcry Of Censorship
FROM NPR: Both social media companies said the moves were aimed at slowing the spread of potentially false information. But they gave few details about how they reached their decisions, sparking criticism about the lack of clarity and consistency with which they apply their rules.
The New York Post story published on Wednesday cited emails, purportedly sent by Biden’s son Hunter, that the news outlet says it got from President Donald Trump’s private lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon.
Censorship should be condemned!

Facebook was limiting distribution of the story while its outside fact checkers reviewed its claims, spokesman Andy Stone said. That means the platform’s algorithms won’t place posts linking to the story as highly in people’s news feeds, reducing the number of users who see it. However, the story has still been liked, shared or commented on more than 290,000 times on Facebook, according data from CrowdTangle, a research tool owned by Facebook.

Stone said Facebook sometimes takes this step if it sees “signals” that something gaining traction is false, to give fact-checkers time to evaluate the story before it spreads widely. He did not give more detail on what signals Facebook uses or how often it takes this approach.
Twitter went further. It is blocking users from posting pictures of the emails or links to the Post stories referring to them, spokesman Trenton Kennedy said, citing its rules against “directly distributingcontent obtained through hacking that contains private information.”
Users who try to share the link on Twitter are shown a notice saying, “We can’t complete this request because this link has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially harmful.” If a user clicks on a link already posted on Twitter, they are taken to a warning screen saying “this link may be unsafe,” which they have to click past in order to read the story. Twitter also required the Post to delete its tweet about the story, Kennedy said.
Twitter said it decided to block the story because it couldn’t be sure about the origins of the emails. But the company declined to comment on how it had reached that decision or what evidence it had weighed. READ MORE

When you contribute to this fundraising effort, you are helping us to do what the Lord called us to do. The money you send in goes primarily to the overall daily operations of this site. When people ask for Bibles, we send them out at no charge. When people write in and say how much they would like gospel tracts but cannot afford them, we send them a box at no cost to them for either the tracts or the shipping, no matter where they are in the world. Even all the way to South Africa. We even restarted our weekly radio Bible study on Sunday nights again, thanks to your generous donations. All this is possible because YOU pray for us, YOU support us, and YOU give so we can continue growing.
But whatever you do, don’t do nothing. Time is short and we need your help right now. If every one of the 15,860+ people on our daily mailing list gave $4.50, we would reach our goal immediately. If every one of our 150,000+ followers on Facebook gave $1.00 each, we would reach 300% of our goal. The same goes for our 15,900 followers on Twitter. But sadly, many will not give, so we need the ones who can and who will give to be generous. As generous as possible.
