Officials at the FBI, operating under color of law, mislead Meta/Facebook to believe that the hunter biden content was Russian misinformation prior to an election.

In parallel we have a “political campaign that totally isn’t colluding with the government” ordering some of the most powerful tech companies in the world to “review” content tony soprano style.

The most charitable take is that you are naive, the realistic take it that you are downplaying criminal acts by major entrenched political entities in the US

Zuckerberg said the FBI told Facebook they had intelligence there was going to be a Russian misinformation campaign right before the election. The FBI didn't tell them _this_ was that campaign, that was an assumption made by Facebook.

Tony just said that it would be nice if Pauli fell down the stairs after ratting. He never directly ordered the murder your honor.

Meanwhile we have direct evidence the FBI was aware of this content, had possession of it for over a year, and when they could no longer suppress the evidence conveniently “educated” (criminal conspiracy) their “partners”.

Also in context, Zuckerberg provided this explanation when directly questioned about HB. They only acted this way because the FBI instructed them to.

Criminal. Conspiracy. To defraud. The United States.

Now do J6. Will no one rid me of this meddlesome Pence?

I see. So now a demand for review by a campaign is actually the FBI.

And the FBI should not engage in countering foreign influence campaigns like the hacked emails in 2016. Foreign adversaries should have free reign to hack and release private data and the media should encourage and distribute it all without any caution.

Your reasoning skills are next level.

It’s worse than that, rogue members of FBI illegally acted under its law enforcement authority to collude with a presidential campaign to threaten a private entity to censor constitutionally protected speech.

As I previously stated, (lengthy) prison time is the best possible outcome for all involved.

Wow, you've really gotten yourself twisted up here haven't you. Good luck with your nothingburger.
