Discussion:
Renee DiResta / @noupside: This is related to today's Biden story: A few months ago the fact-respecting portion of the internet was outraged at social media companies allowing Plandemic to go wildly viral, despite stated policies against health misinfo. The video was taken down after millions of views...
@twittersafety: The policy, established in 2018, prohibits the use of our service to distribute content obtained without authorization. We don't want to incentivize hacking by allowing Twitter to be used as distribution for possibly illegally obtained materials. https://blog.twitter.com/...
Andy Stone / @andymstone: While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook's third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform.
Rudy Takala / Mediaite: Twitter Locks White House Spox Kayleigh McEnany and Trump Campaign, Warns Users Against Clicking on House Judiciary GOP Page
Mark Sullivan / Fast Company: Facebook and Twitter are finally using their most effective tool against disinformation
Kyle Cheney / @kyledcheney: Again, stipulating that the suspect email is real, there's literally nothing in it that says Joe Biden met with a Burisma adviser. “The opportunity to meet,” may just as easily have meant Hunter promised a meeting in the future that may never have occurred.
New York Post: Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad
Daniel Goldman / @danielsgoldman: Let's try this one more time: the Ukrainian prosecutor was fired because he was NOT prosecuting corruption cases and there was NO Ukrainian investigation into Burisma. In addition to there being no evidence to support the bogus allegations, the basic premise is simply false. https://twitter.com/...
Natasha Bertrand / @natashabertrand: New: Biden campaign responds to NY Post story. “The New York Post never asked the Biden campaign about the critical elements of this story...moreover, we have reviewed Joe Biden's official schedules from the time and no meeting, as alleged by the New York Post, ever took place.” https://twitter.com/...
Steven Nelson / New York Post: Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey will be subpoenaed to testify on Post censorship
Sohrab Ahmari / @sohrabahmari: This is a Big Tech information coup. This is digital civil war. I, an editor at The New York Post, one of the nation's largest papers by circulation, can't post one of our own stories that details corruption by a major-party presidential candidate, Biden. https://twitter.com/...
Chris Megerian / @chrismegerian: I asked Rudy Giuliani how long he's had the copy of this hard drive. He responded, “Your interested in the wrong thing. This time the truth will not be defeated by process. I've got a lot more to go. We just started. Print a headline saying Lyin' Joe and we can talk.”
Noah Manskar / @noahmanskar: The Post's primary Twitter account (@nypost) has also been locked because the Hunter Biden stories violate its rules against “distribution of hacked material,” per email we received from Twitter https://twitter.com/...
Evelyn Douek / @evelyndouek: Facebook is reducing distribution of a story before it has been fact-checked. I don't know what the rule is that enables that. Not saying it's not the right call, but I can think of many other instances this could be useful too, so would like to know on what basis. https://twitter.com/...
@twittersafety: As noted this morning, we also currently view materials included in the articles as violations of our Hacked Materials Policy. https://help.twitter.com/...
@twittersafety: Commentary on or discussion about hacked materials, such as articles that cover them but do not include or link to the materials themselves, aren't a violation of this policy. Our policy only covers links to or images of hacked material themselves.
@twittersafety: The images contained in the articles include personal and private information — like email addresses and phone numbers — which violate our rules. https://help.twitter.com/...
@twittersafety: We know we have more work to do to provide clarity in our product when we enforce our rules in this manner. We should provide additional clarity and context when preventing the Tweeting or DMing of URLs that violate our policies.
@twittersafety: We recognize that Twitter is just one of many places where people can find information online, and the Twitter Rules are intended to protect the conversation on our service, and to add context to people's experience where we can.
Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: If I were Facebook, and I wanted to announce the systemic suppression of a questionable news story that reflected poorly on the Democratic presidential nominee, I probably wouldn't have a life-long Democratic Party operative make the announcement on my behalf: https://twitter.com/...
Tom Dreisbach / @tomdreisbach: It's fairly clear that Twitter is making this up as they go along. “Illegally obtained materials” could include records that are widely considered in the public interest - the WikiLeaks release of Iraq War and State Department cables, Snowden's leaks, the Pentagon Papers... https://twitter.com/...
Jonathan Swan / @jonathanvswan: “Content obtained without authorization” is a hilarious standard that seemingly nobody at Twitter has spent any time thinking through. https://twitter.com/...
David Corn / @davidcorndc: JUST POSTED: I explain how the NY Post embraced and promoted Russian disinformation with its supposed Biden bombshell. Will the rest of the media do better? Please read, RT, like, and share. https://www.motherjones.com/ ...
Conor Friedersdorf / @conor64: This would have resulted in censoring the Pentagon Papers https://twitter.com/...
Asawin Suebsaeng / @swin24: “The latest round of Hunter Biden attacks come approximately one year after President Trump found himself embroiled in impeachment investigations for using the levers of government to try and help Giuliani dig up dirt in Ukraine on the Bidens.” https://twitter.com/...
Tim O'Brien / @timobrien: Here's the most detailed and best takedown yet of how the Post mishandled the Biden kompromat that Giuliani and Bannon managed to dump into its pages. Via @DavidCornDC https://www.motherjones.com/ ...
Ted Cruz / @tedcruz: Facebook official spox (who describes himself as an alum of the DCCC & former Dem Sen. Barbara Boxer) explains Facebook's active censorship of @nypost story alleging corruption by Biden. Who could doubt their impartiality? https://twitter.com/...
Senator Kelly Loeffler / @senatorloeffler: This is absurd. Here's yet another real-time example of the glaring need to reform Section 230 and hold Big Tech accountable for censoring conservative political speech. Big Tech must act as a platform, not a censor. #WheresHunter https://twitter.com/...
Jay Marshall Wolman / @wolmanj: Exercising the first amendment right to not speak isn't “election interference ” any more than your tweets amplifying the story. Why do you hate the first amendment? https://twitter.com/...
Andrew Feinberg / @andrewfeinberg: Glenn makes a fair point here, even if only because people continue to stupidly and maliciously attribute decisions to those whose job it is to announce them rather than those who make said decisions. https://twitter.com/...
Maggie Haberman / @maggienyt: Random store owner has it, copies it (a crime) and gives it to the president's lawyer while also responding to a federal subpoena? A bit odd. https://twitter.com/...
Farhad Manjoo / @fmanjoo: News flash everything on social media is an editorial decision by the company. Every single thing, the UI, the posts you see, the posts you don't, the metrics, the speed with which everything updates, the colors, it's all human decisions all the way down. It's all subjective
Renee DiResta / @noupside: Coming up with policies & new mechanisms to address virality, and curation, are two of the most significant things platforms and the public, and likely regulators, need to do to address the most destructive facets of the current information environment.
Nu Wexler / @wexler: This conflict was inevitable. As platforms cracked down on foreign information operations, disinformation migrated to US gov't officials and domestic outlets. If you're serious about reducing election disinformation, you can't grant blanket immunity to all gov't and media orgs.
Nu Wexler / @wexler: Twitter and Facebook have higher standards for election disinformation than the fourth-largest newspaper in the United States.
Claire McCaskill / @clairecmc: It's getting old isn't it? SAD! FAKE NEWS! https://twitter.com/...
Iwillkissyouallhat / @popehat: The Post story is obvious Russian propaganda from a vile rag and genuinely bad people, but trying to suppress it seems dumb.
@internetryan: the stories about the action taken to limit the story spread the story and tweets about the stories about the action taken to limit the spread of the story spread the story https://twitter.com/...
Stacy Herbert / @stacyherbert: I guess every corporation will be forced to join Red or Blue. It does provide opportunity for increased competition perhaps if all social media, for example, choose Democrat. Or do you think we will see FB Blue & FB Red? https://twitter.com/...
House Judiciary Gop / @judiciarygop: Big Tech claims they aren't biased. Then they do this. Insanity. https://twitter.com/...
Kyle Raccio / @kyleraccio: Would the Judiciary Committee like to do something about it other than complain on Twitter? https://twitter.com/...
Kyle Cheney / @kyledcheney: Important addendum: Nothing about the premise of the story adds up. Every credible source has testified that the prosecutor involved was fired because he was *not* investigating corruption and removing him made it likelier Burisma would face a real probe. https://twitter.com/...
Renee DiResta / @noupside: I think this is actually a very good use of the policy levers at its disposal. It is also doing this transparently, despite the fact that the censorship-howlers, who also think factchecking is censorship, immediately began howling about censorship. No big shock there.
Renee DiResta / @noupside: As far as the Biden article: FB is using “reduce” to enable “inform”. It is buying some time for verification of a very significant story that itself falls under a different policy area - concern about the veracity of leaked material pursuant to an election.
Aunkur Arya / @aunkurarya: For a company that publicly stated in May that they don't want to be the arbiter of truth, we are seeing a lot of moves just in the last week of Facebook weeding out grossly inaccurate information on their platform. I'm for it. https://twitter.com/...
Jason Kint / @jason_kint: Yes yes yes, all of this. Clearly note why it's important to focus on *reduce* to slow velocity and reaching allowing counter-speech by fact-checking to happen. *remove* although appealing and sometimes necessary lead to legitimate censorship discussions. https://twitter.com/...
Will Oremus / @willoremus: Good thread on Facebook's response to the NY Post story, from one of the leading experts on viral misinformation. https://twitter.com/...
Vivian Schiller / @vivian: incredibly sensible thread about FB and the Burisma story. https://twitter.com/...
Charlie Warzel / @cwarzel: anyhow if you're as frustrated right now as i am you should just read this smart thread and then log off probably https://twitter.com/...
Jeff Roberts / @jeffjohnroberts: This is big. In the past, Facebook would have done nothing and this BS story would have gone bananas in right-wing echo groups. https://fortune.com/...
Peter J. Hasson / @peterjhasson: Facebook comms guy, a former Dem staffer, announces that Facebook is going to suppress a piece of journalism that Dems don't like https://twitter.com/...
Del Quentin Wilber / @delwilber: Would be curious if the NY Post had any computer forensic folks conduct forensic examination of emails' metadata, etc., before publishing to check authenticity. https://twitter.com/...
Maggie Haberman / @maggienyt: Things that are sketchy in NYP story on Hunter Biden - why wasn't this in Ron Johnson report if it's been in possession for awhile? When did Giuliani acquire it? Giuliani has been everywhere on the but this has been kicking around since late last year and unreleased till now?
@jeremynewberger: “Excuse me kind NY POST reporters, I found this wet hard drive with Hunter Biden e-mails on it. I didn't know who to give it to. I gotta go, I am getting my feet scraped and my hair done at 11.” - random woman. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Carpe Diem / @captcarpediem: Aren't you spreading the propaganda that the FBI was warning us about? You really think we are going to tolerate a repeat of 2016's wikileaks? Looking forward to an investigation into your behavior when Biden is president. It's not a “smoking-gun.” it is discredited propaganda. https://twitter.com/...
Martin Sfp Bryant / @martinsfp: Feels with this NY Post story that the 2020 election disinformation swamp has become even more swampy, and platforms are starting to be tested on their plans to deal with this stuff. https://www.theverge.com/...
@rmac18: I'm confused by this. Facebook spox attempts to be transparent by claiming that the social network has limited the distribution of the NYPost Biden story, but doesn't say exactly what policy the company is applying to take that action. https://twitter.com/...
Farhad Manjoo / @fmanjoo: How about ... on the grounds that they have a first amendment right to do whatever they want? that enough? a little something I like to call the us constitution https://twitter.com/...

Michael M. Grynbaum / @grynbaum: NBC wanted outside (non-Conley) proof of Trump's medical condition.

This is a craven ratings stunt, caving to the Trumpian impulses the network helped hone.
Daniel Fienberg / @thefienprint: We used to as NBC execs at press tour about Trump running for president and it was always a question couched in concern that such a run would make NBC's brand look bad. Nothing else. Anyway, NBC is airing a Trump town hall/commercial on Thursday night. https://twitter.com/...
James Ball / @jamesrbuk: Given Trump was the one to drop out of the debate, is it not off-the-charts shitty for NBC to let him counter-program against Biden like this? https://twitter.com/...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: With this decision, NBC has rewarded Trump for torpedoing the second debate, created dueling spectacles for voters, and simply looked past the fact that its reporters never got an answer to: when was the president's last negative test before he got COVID? https://www.nytimes.com/...
Matthew Yglesias / @mattyglesias: I'd somehow forgotten that Trump chickened out of debating after months of suggesting Biden would do this. https://twitter.com/...
Kathleen Smith / @kikkiplanet: I've said it before and I'll say it again; Donald J Trump is a media creation. His empire and everything about him is a lie and always has been, & media force-fed those lies to Americans for profit. They are complicit in creating this monster. https://twitter.com/...
Tom Bevan / @tombevanrcp: Can't wait to see the ‘undecided voters’ NBC digs up for this one. https://twitter.com/...
Kim Masters / @kimmasters: I spoke to an exec there yesterday and said, “You're going to get a lot of blowback if you do this,” and he said, “Why? We aired a Biden town hall before.” https://twitter.com/...
Kim Masters / @kimmasters: Since the NYT revealed that The Apprentice was Trump's lifeline, @snoodit and I talked to NBC execs about their memories of the show. He agreed not to run in 2011 after the company coughed up $500K to his “charity.” https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ ...
Steven Zeitchik / @zeitchikwapo: There are nine mentions in this seven-paragraph story about how safe it will be but zero explanations about why they are doing it https://twitter.com/...
David Freedlander / @freedlander: After dropping out of an official Commission on Presidential Debates sanctioned town hall—the first President ever to do so—Trump gets 90 minutes of free air time without his opponent https://twitter.com/...
Lilliana Mason / @lilymasonphd: If ABC and NBC team up, they could actually ask Trump and Biden to respond to each other in real time - almost like a “virtual debate”. https://twitter.com/...
Eric Boehlert / @ericboehlert: Trump: the press is the enemy of the people! NBC: we'll clear our primetime schedule for you! sums up the Trump era perfectly
Greta Van Susteren / @greta: People will DVR ...at least i will DVR so can watch both...the key issue is whether the two events will be mirror images in fairness and depth of information solicited and audience selection https://twitter.com/...
@deray: The NBC Trump Town Hall makes complete sense when we remember how much the media benefits from Trump's antics and his ability to control the narrative over and over. The media remains complicit.
Southpaw / @nycsouthpaw: NIH issuing statements to NBC in support of a Trump re-election campaign town hall on NBC. https://twitter.com/...
Southpaw / @nycsouthpaw: Could the NBC booking unit get us the date and time of the president's last negative test before his COVID-19 diagnosis? Or the cause of his unannounced trip to Walter Reed last year? They seem to have the inside track on his health.
Brian Steinberg / @bristei: NBC News' and ABC News' maneuvers will help to accomplish what the organizers of the original presidential debates hoped to thwart: the attention of American voters will be split and viewers won't see the candidates answering questions in the same forum https://variety.com/...
Chris Keppler / @chris_keppler: NBC & ABC doing voters a disservice by concurrently airing Trump & Biden town halls in lieu of debate. Better to air the town halls consecutively so remaining undecided voters can compare and contrast the candidates. #Election2020 https://twitter.com/...
James Poniewozik / @poniewozik: In 2016, there were a lot of media decisions that in retrospect seemed to be made on the basis of, “Well, Trump's going to lose anyway, so why not?” We hadn't seen as much of that in this election so far. But maybe we're getting to that point now. https://twitter.com/...
Raju Narisetti / @raju: Mainstream TV's lose-lose proposition for America. Quite likely only way to get Trump to agree, since both networks would have benefitted from not splitting audiences and attention, if aired in separate time slot? https://twitter.com/...
Dave Catanese / @davecatanese: Producing Trump's favorite poll: A ratings face-off. https://twitter.com/...
Keith Boykin / @keithboykin: NBC is rewarding Trump for his irresponsible behavior. He just got out of the hospital with coronavirus, still hasn't been wearing a mask, and has been spreading lies and misinformation about Covid-19 at daily campaign rallies with no social distancing. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Chris D. Jackson / @chrisdjackson: NBC is absolute garbage. Trump backed out of the debate, so what doss NBC do? Gives him a town hall to compete with Biden's. Oh yeah, only days after he criticized Biden's NBC town hall. https://twitter.com/...
James Poniewozik / @poniewozik: “The network did not explicitly say that Mr. Trump had received a negative result from the P.C.R. test.” https://twitter.com/...
Brian Steinberg / @bristei: @NBCNews will move forward with a town hall with President Trump opposite a similar event @ABC is holding with VP Biden, setting off a primetime scramble between both networks and candidates for viewers https://variety.com/...
David Folkenflik / @davidfolkenflik: Ex https://msnbc.com/ exec @merrillbro is right — this scheduling is competition not public service https://twitter.com/...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: If NBC does this, it will be... 1.) after its journalists failed to get an answer to “when was his last negative test before contracting Covid?” 2.) after he pulled out of the second debate. 3.) in competititon with Biden town hall same night. Something potent is driving this. https://twitter.com/...

@marvk: NBC sources also say tomorrow's Today show will feature a fun recipe for honey chicken. https://twitter.com/...
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: Will ABC News shift Biden's time slot? A rep declined to comment. But let's be clear — ABC announced its plans several days before NBC did. Moving one of the town halls to a different day is not seen as a viable option, given the crowded schedules of the candidates, BTW.
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: Why? The best answer I've heard from sources today is “parity:” Biden was on NBC at 8, so Trump will be on NBC at 8. But some NBC staffers are perturbed: “We're giving Trump exactly what he wants,” a made-by-TV rivalry between the prez and the former VP https://www.cnn.com/...
