Facebook censors The Post to help Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign
So much for Facebook’s claims to be a neutral platform: One of its top execs just put the social media giant firmly in the pro-Biden camp.
Andy Stone, the social media company’s policy communications manager, boasted about burying The Post’s story on proof that Hunter Biden merchandized access to his dad.
Stone’s tweet Wednesday morning: “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.”
Censor first, ask questions later: It’s an outrageous attitude for one of the most powerful platforms in the United States to take.

Sen. Josh Hawley threatens Facebook over handling of Post exposé on Bidens
Sen. Josh Hawley demanded answers from Facebook Wednesday about why it “censored” The Post’s reporting on emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop.
The Missouri Republican fired off a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg questioning the Silicon Valley titan’s Wednesday move to limit the distribution of The Post’s exclusive exposé detailing emails that indicate Hunter Biden introduced his father, Joe Biden, to a Ukrainian energy executive.
“The seemingly selective nature of this public intervention suggests partiality on the part of Facebook,” Hawley wrote. “And your efforts to suppress the distribution of content revealing potentially unethical activity by a candidate for president raises a number of additional questions, to which I expect responses immediately.”
Facebook said The Post’s story could be reviewed by third-party fact-checkers, a step it generally takes for news articles that raise red flags for misinformation. That led Hawley to ask whether it was normal for the company to limit the spread of news reports from established publications before they are fact-checked by outside sources.
