    Said it before the mainstream media did cover the Hunter Biden laptop story. I guess Zuckerberg's supposed decision to suppress it on the social media platforms that he controls may have denied those individuals who rely on social media for their news access to the story.

    The claim was made here that the FBI told that to Facebook right before the NYPost story came out. But Zuckerberg doesn't say when the FBI said it, does he?
    So my point is simple:
    If the FBI knew the NYPost story was coming out and just before it did, the FBI went to Facebook and other social media and warned them that Russian disinformation was coming soon and to be very careful about airing it ... then that would have been very wrong of the FBI.
    But if the FBI had no knowledge of the upcoming story or if the warning came six weeks earlier, for example, then the FBI didn't do anything wrong, right?

    And from what I've read, we don't know which it was.

    No offense, but ... huh?
    You said that FBI make the allegation that the laptop story was Russian misinformation. I asked if the FBI really did that and your answer is that the FBI is pissing on us?

    As I said before, I'm sure some of you followed this more closely than I have. But I haven't seen where the FBI publicly said the laptop story was Russian misinformation. Did it, and can you provide a link?

    thanks

    That’s what I referred to as the plausible deniability.

    So what is that supposed to mean? They have done it in a way that we couldn't tell they were doing it?

    In other words, despite you and other conservatives here claiming that the FBI alleged that the laptop story was Russian disinformation ... the fact is that it didn't do that?
    OK, then ...

    Go ahead and bury your head in the sand river. We can quibble and parse words all we want here, but what Zuckerberg is saying is that he was set up. If you can’t see that it is only because you have made this a right/left issue so you don’t want to see it.

    Lovely....FBI aiding in censorship and influencing elections...the mainstream media (little more than peddlers of the Democratic party narrative) going along for the ride...

    Come on man, it was a nothing story. Would have had zero effect on the election...that's why the dems here spend all their time defending the fbi, twitter, facebook, nyt, washington post for squashing it.

    Except that the thread title is false. The FBI gave a general warning about Russian interference and disinformation. It has been interpreted by the right wing Trump acolytes because they know that the Russians would align with their useful idiot— Trump, not Biden. And the warning had nothing to do with the Hunter Biden laptop, which was reported after the warning. Hope that clears it up for you. There are links in one of the multiple threads started on this. Btw: The FBI was the Trump Administration FBI rum by a Republican appointed by Trump.

    There is nothing in Zuckerberg's quotes in the Post article that would lean an unbiased reader to think that there was a only a general warning. That the media went to such extraordinary lengths to completely such that story down would not have happened for a general warning.

    LOL, sure it’s false. I’ll chose to listen to Zuckerberg saying buried the Hunter laptop story because of the fbi over some internet far left partisan. Swing and a miss!

    "We can parse words here" is translated to mean that even though the facts don't line up, my masturbatory right wing fever dreams say that A, B and C happened and no amount of your fancy book learnin' is going to make me think different! Now excuse me, there is a new YT video out with absolute proof Hillary ran Pizzagate I need to go watch.

    I would never ask you to read any fancy books. You can’t even comprehend a straightforward NY Post article.
