Exclusive book excerpt: How Facebook and Twitter rigged the game in 2020
In her new book, “Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections,” Mollie Hemingway reveals how social-media companies like Twitter and Facebook responded to the 2016 election of Donald Trump to go from free-speech advocates to censors — including blocking The Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden. Here, an exclusive excerpt:
Donald Trump’s 2016 victory was a shock to much of the country, but Silicon Valley took it especially hard. The progressive bastion of San Francisco had turned tech companies from libertarian idealists into liberal crusaders. The industry as a whole felt complicit in Donald Trump’s rise and was intent on doing everything in its power to suppress his voice and those of his supporters.
From the beginning, the tech overlords were plotting how to strike back.
在她的新书《Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats如何夺取我们的选举》中,莫莉·海明威透露了推特和脸书等社交媒体公司如何应对2016年唐纳德·特朗普的选举,从言论自由倡导者到审查员——包括阻止《华盛顿邮报》对亨特·拜登的报道。以下是独家摘录:
A very interesting time in our Country, but do not worry, we will be great again—and we will all do it together. America will never fail, and we will never allow it to go in the wrong direction. Too many generations of greatness are counting on us. Enjoy your Thanksgiving knowing that a wonderful future lies ahead!
