The Hunter Biden laptop story comes to mind. Twitter was even blocking DMs with a link to the story, but it turned out that what was in it was true, even if it was inconsequential. I also remember seeing a Facebook ad that had a video of Biden saying he was going to end fracking, but since his campaign's official stance was that they weren't going end it, the ad was removed for false information.

Can you provide some basis for saying it's true? That is not my understanding, but I'm always interested in learning more.

There is no real doubt that the contents found on Hunter Biden's laptop are authentic. He hasn't denied any of it, nor has any evidence of falsification been found.

But the whole thing was a big nothingburger.

Right now, there is a lot of doubt: All I have is some words typed by someone on the Internet.

That article barely discusses the laptop, and quotes Hunter Biden saying he didn't know if the proported laptop was even his. It says nothing about authenticity of the contents.
