You don't need to have direct access to the laptop to be told what is on it or what the emails say. But that doesn't matter. Was it a conservative bias to suppress discussion about it?

It's still discussion of hacked materials. Did anyone say that suppressing that discussion was conservative bias?

Absolutely false. The Jan 6th protest happened because the Democrat party called into question the election process for the 4 years prior as well as the support shown for similar protests in 2020.

That's... not remotely true. That you believe it is suggests such a profound disconnect from empirical reality that I really don't know where to start trying to fix you.

No, I've never noticed that.

Perhaps you should pay more attention, then.

Primarily because the bannings never had anything to do with what views people wanted to express. Simply not agreeing with the regressive talking points was enough to get someone labeled as right-wing. And simply being labeled as right-wing was enough to get someone banned, or just visibility filtered, regardless of anything they actually posted.

This is also just plain not true. By all means, though, feel free to provide examples of specific tweets that were taken down simply for "not agreeing with the regressive talking points." Bonus points if you find one that can't be completely invalidated withing 30 seconds of looking for context.

Whoever believes this must be so far left that other leftists look right-wing to them.

You can review the findings yourself if you want to interpret them. That's corroborated by countless other studies on the matter, though: Social media algorithms tend to have a measurable right-wing promotion bias. That's generally not a deliberate decision on the part of the companies running them, it's just a consequence of how they play out (namely, far-right content tends to be more objectionable and controversial and therefore generates more traffic). Again, individual examples of deleting right-wing content (which, again, is generally taken down not because it's right-wing, but because it's really horrible content) do not invalidate that overall trend.
