Sky News host James Morrow says the shocking part of the Biden scandal story is the way which tech giants reacted to the news, in a manner contrary to their claims of being “neutral platforms”.
It comes as the New York Post released an expose detailing links between Joe Biden and his son who was paid at least $50,000 a month to sit on the board of a Ukrainian energy company who allegedly set up a meeting with the Vice President.
Facebook and Twitter both censored the article, advising they are limiting the distribution of the story on their platforms until a third-party contractor can “fact check” the article.
“It’s scandalous behaviour given not only the number of people who get their news via social media but also the stories they have allowed in the past to go through unchecked,” Mr Morrow said.
“Twitter and Facebook never warned anyone about sharing stories about Trump’s tax returns, even though unauthorised sharing of personal tax data is a big violation of US federal law.
“Now that we have clear evidence plain as day of Biden family corruption less than 500 hours away from a hotly contested US election, Twitter and Facebook want to be the final arbiters of truth and decide what you are and are not entitled to say.
“It’s not good enough and it puts the lie to claims that these tech giants are just natural platforms.”
