Twitter’s crackdown on the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story caused a huge spike in interest in the report, according to researchers.

Zignal Labs found that the social network’s ban of links to the story “nearly doubled” its sharing by users, from about 5,500 shares every 15 minutes to about 10,000. The story had been shared more than 352,000 times between the time it was published on Wednesday and the weekend.

“Shares of the Post article “nearly doubled” after Twitter started suppressing it,” MIT Technology Review’s Abby Ohlheiser noted in a report on Zignal’s findings. “The poorly-thought-through ban triggered the so-called Streisand Effect and helped turn a sketchy article into a must-share blockbuster.

The story also generated 2.59 million interactions between “likes,” comments and shares on Facebook and Twitter for the week of Oct. 12-19, according to NewsWhip data collected by Axios. Five of the 10 biggest stories on social media for the week were related to the Post’s report and the ensuing fallout, and it was the sixth-most-engaged article for the month.

Reddit is running multiple stories that Twitter and Facebook are forcefully suppressing leftist thinking and boosting conservative thought.

Who is this” everyday Joe” you refer to? Do you really think there is any significant number of people in America that don’t at a minimum have a smart phone and use Google read Reddit etc?

First... nobody googles “hunter biden laptop” out of nowhere. This story has been suppressed very well. If it’s not a push notification sent their phone from Apple News or Google News, they have no clue.

And no, most sane people with a job and a family do not waste their time with the liberal echo-chamber that is Reddit.

Even Facebook only has a 43% market penetration.

As for Twitter, more people interact with pornhub every day. It's true.

So incest porn prolly going to win the election.

The more they tighten their grip, the more star systems will slip through their fingers.

You're quote from memory was virtually verbatim.

I like that meme. It was my homage to you.
