The left has always been skeptical of concentrated corporate power. Tech platforms suppressing a legitimate story in intrusive and frankly crazy ways (can't share the link in a DM) is a story in its own right.
The problem is that Taibbi seems to think that anyone who isn't right-wing cares about Hunter Biden in the slightest.

The problem with whatever Taibbi is talking about is for it to make sense you had to pay attention to whatever the f[inks] Rudy Giuliani was raving about in late 2020.

Okay...?
Here's the thing: The Hunter Biden laptop story wasn't suppressed. Check our archives, it was well discussed, the media talked about it and Fox News and all right-wing news affiliates were really pushing it. The reason it went nowhere is simple: People just didn't care. Now would they have cared if it wasn't promoted by Giuliani and the Trump campaign in such a deranged manner, if there weren't hordes of other issues people cared about far more, and if it didn't completely smell of desperation being trotted out then? Possibly. But that wasn't what happened.

It's weird that Jack (or apparently not Jack, just some mid-level twitter underling) can throw a switch and suddenly nobody can DM a link, man. That's all I'm saying. Not about who cares about the story — my response to PR was about why Taibbi, specifically, is doing this.
It's weird that the did that about what amounted to revenge porn?

What right-wingers and contrarian leftists need to learn (and will eventually as a harsh lesson) is that there's no unringing the bell on this story. Rudy Giuliani and the Trump campaign already went about Hunter Biden in such a way that inoculated the majority of the public to caring about it, and you're not going to overcome that now by bringing up something about Twitter suppression or whatever. They might as well try campaigning on Hillary's emails in 2024.
