Right, the Hunter Biden laptop story censored by Twitter for the benefit of one political party during a presidential election was somehow misinformation and also a conspiracy theory and racism.
I find the complete unwillingness for everyone still moaning about misinformation to admit they were wrong about that laptop to be probably the most insane thing I've seen in my life. The laptop story wasn't even that important, but the incessant and belligerent lying or moving the goalposts about what happened is breathtaking.
If you ever want to admit you're wrong, I won't make fun of you.
Sometimes when you try a thing, you'll get it wrong, and that sucks. But that doesn't mean it's not worth trying. I'm not aware of any significant damage done by Twitter getting that one wrong, and the decision took place in an environment of increasing anti-Asian violence in the US[1]. I have a hard time blaming them for trying to do something within their power while there were real consequences for inaction and the jury was still out.
No one reputable cares/cared about that story. The people pushing it are/were right wing conspiracy nutters, the kind of people who chug horse dewormer and refuse life saving vaccines. I'm pleased to see them booted out of the spaces I inhabit.
