    Yes, story broke out eventually, but it was silenced on social media when it broke because of political orders - a fact. I don’t know why saying that automatically makes people wince in horror. Both sides of political spectrum engage in silencing free speech when needed.

      You do realize that most people here are on some kind of social media?

      You can keep saying that the story was silenced, but I’ve heard about it non-stop for years because the right has been pushing the story hard.

      So… definitely not a fact. Your echo chamber is not reality.

        It was silenced, contrary to free speech, because when the news broke NY Post was blocked on all social media and a link to the story couldn’t be shared in any way (post or message).
