Facebook, Twitter block the NY Post from posting

Companies which spend millions on counsel every year are not going to blunder. They either have anterior motives (boost the story through censorship) or they had no choice.

I don’t know what to think anymore because I don’t understand how this censorship will have any effect other than causing the story to spread like fire.

Does it really? I haven't seen anything on Reddit or the likes. Seems to me that the censorship has been rather successful so far.

In your bubble. But in the bubble targeted by this story the censorship is going to accelerate everything.
