"In a lengthy Twitter thread Friday night, journalist Matt Taibbi released information from files provided to him by Elon Musk. The new owner of the social media platform had promised transparency about past content moderation decisions that occurred during the 2020 campaign, in particular, of the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story, which he sees as ground zero in a national discussion about free speech and the First Amendment.
First, some necessary background…In October 2020, just weeks before Election Day, the Post published a salacious story about the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop. The information came to them via Rudy Giuliani, the personal attorney to then-President Donald Trump, in the form of a hard drive with information taken from the computer, said to be left at a Delaware computer store.
The vast amount of information revealed at that time from the laptop has since been verified as legitimate. But at the time, given the provenance of the information and Giuliani’s disinclination to share the source material with any other news outlets, the story was met with great skepticism. Outlets chose not to aggregate the Post report and followed warnings from former US Intelligence officials who signed a letter saying that the Hunter data had all the markings of a Russian disinformation campaign."
