Censor first, ask questions later.

The New York Post is one of largest newspapers in the English language, along with the largest - its sister publication The Wall Street Journal.

Yet Facebook and Twitter promptly censored a New York Post story presenting embarrassing new about Joe Biden's son Hunter, Joe himself and the Ukrainian company that famously paid Hunter large sums for reasons having nothing to do with his father.

Would the czars of Unsocial Media have censored the same story had it first appeared in The New York Times or Washington Post?

The equivalent of online book-burning angers some people so much that they want to turn the censorship over to the Federal Government. Really? Could anyone really imagine the FSMCB [Federal Social Media Censorship Board] would be fair and tolerant toward critics of government actions or policies?

Even Consumer Reports (which often displays a naïve trust in federal regulation) can't figure out why Facebook/What's App, Twitter, Reddit and You Tube are so damned sure of themselves when it comes to defining and banning "false" information about Politics/Social issues.
