Just to be fair: The tweet is pretty misleading.
He says the fbi said there was a lot of misinformation in the 2016 election and to be hyper vigilant.

They (FB) thought the laptop story fit that profile so they restricted is sharing.

When asked by Rogan if the FBI specifically mentioned the laptop story he said “no”.

So FB actually is the one that decided to censor. FBI never specifically mentioned it.

Just to be fair......let's see all communications between the FBI and Facebook as well as all other media outlets and our government. We don't have to take their word for it and history (recent at that) says we can't and shouldn't.

Is the FBI the same agency that had the laptop since December of 2019 and knew 100% it was a legit shite show for the Biden Crime Syndicate?

How many winks did the FBI use while talking to Zuck?

Maybe even a side glance or three at a nearby laptop.

It wasn't freaking misinformation! Who in the hell gets to decide what is misinformation?!

The left is so contradictive and ignorant it makes my head spin. How do majority of college educated people make emotional decisions (vote Democrat) when voting? Because they weren't educated, they were endoctrinated.

Muh "it's a private company, not the government censoring"!

As Matt Taibbi put it: "The information police are here".

Government: “need you squash that bad news on a candidate”

Social media: “done”

This is exactly how it works in authoritarian/dictatorships around the world.
Yet somehow Trump is the wannabe dictator that is a "threat to democracy". Democrats are repulusive.

bullshite. Who was calling the laptop disinformation?
FBI: “You should censor disinformation.”
FBI: “The laptop is disinformation.”
Zuckerberg: “I don’t recall them specifically mentioning the laptop.”

GTFO. This is the FBI “suggesting”, much like Tony Soprano might make a “suggestion” to a local business, that a huge social media platform censor information in an attempt to influence an election. It’s difficult to overstate how bad this is.
