    Sure hillary emails were important. They were a big issue that affected 2016 elections.
    Like I said, the investigation was important. Or rather, the reveal of the investigation was important. That's what impacted the election (allegedly).

    The emails themselves weren't. They were a big nothingburger.

    Sure, and gay marriage was important in the sense that millions of re s voted to re-elect GWB in 2004 because he promised to keep gay marriage illegal. That doesn't mean it was rational behavior to view keeping gay marriage illegal as such a hot button issue that decides an election.

    By Hillary emails we mean the entire email scandal including investigations of course. It was a big deal and affected 2016 greatly.

    I actually change my mind, I'm no longer OK with twitter blocking the URL. It should have tagged the URL with a warning message about possible disinformation, but blocking it completely was overboard imo.

    It's still a private company so there's really no remedy here, but we're beginning to have a 21st century version of the problem we had 100 years ago in terms of monopolies, it's just tech monopolies now as opposed to oil/railroad monopolies. The issues we ran into during the industrial revolution are repeating themselves now during the digital revolution, we're just seeing them in different forms.
    Damn. Just read that the Computer repairman found the emails. Then how is this a hack??

    twitter. This does not even qualify as a hack

    Sure.

    But whether they were a hack or a leak doesn't matter, as per my original point.

    I assume it's because he kept the computer's content and then gave it to a publication where they posted pictures that dont belong to them. Computer might belong to the shop, but what's in it certainly doesn't.

    Just apply the same logic if Hunter was some hot ass female celeb showing them hollywood tiddies. They would be getting sue to the moon.

    Seems like the standard should be whether information was legally obtained, regardless of the means.

    I don't know if PC repairmen have legal access to emails on a hardware job.

    "A hacker is someone who explores methods for breaching defenses and exploiting weaknesses in a computer system or network."

    Seems this is not a hack as Biden most likely gave the repairman his password

    Paging ducks. Do your clients give you their passwords?

    twitter.

    when he's calling it a suppression of the freedom of press its absolutely a legal question.

    i have no issue with a website having TOS and enforcing them. i dont think it needs to be a "free marketplace" where they're also obligated to keep up isis recruitment videos, etc
    They should not be required to do anything unless they get special considerations as if they are anything more than a private business

    There's really no gray area to the QAnon . It's an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that's already led to violence/threats of violence against innocent people. Movements QAnon and Pizzagate are dangerous and are what lead to fascist military coups.

    It's clear that Hunter Biden had a cushy job with a Ukrainian energy company because of his dad, so imo Twitter went overboard in completely blocking the Hunter Biden story since it had enough smoke to say there might be fire, but I can't really say I blame them when their decision to leave other right wing fever dreams go unchecked ended up making said fever dreams look more credible. For over a decade, conservatives have demonstrated a willingness to peddle bad faith conspiracy theories without a shred of concern for real world implications they have or the violence said conspiracy theories might lead to. After QAnon, pizzagate, terrorist fistbump, PLANdemic, Obama is a Kenyan Muslim, etc., it's hard for me to believe the Hunter Biden story is suddenly a good faith attempt to expose wrongdoing.

    So Devon Archer is conducting business affairs at both [email protected] or [email protected]? Sorry, but I'm not buying it.

    If the NY Post and Rudy Giuliani were really interested in putting forth a verifiable story, they'd share .pst files with metadata that can be checked and verified. Instead they're using images and converted pdfs (ostensibly generated from Hunter Biden's emails) that are easily manipulated and forged.

    One thing to keep in mind is that the whole thing is simply re-packaged "blood libel".

    Once you understand that, a LOT of it makes sense, especially when you look at where it started and how it spread. It is an opportunistic re-packaging of anti-semetism, that takes advantage of the "weakened immune system" of poor critical thinkers to spread. Modern gullibles, like the poor souls trapped in the right-wing media-o-sphere are easy targets for this virus.

    if the government decides to treat them as a utility, that would certainly change a lot of things. i think there are pretty reasonable arguments either way on that, i dont have that strong an opinion. i just know at this time they arent.

    they're not even regulating internet access as utility, let alone starting to do that with websites.
