• Meta is restricting links on Threads, Instagram, and Facebook that lead to Ken Klippenstein’s [newsletter containing a JD Vance dossier](https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/read-the-jd-vance-dossier) that was allegedly nabbed in an Iranian hack of the Trump campaign.
• People on Threads have reported that Meta removed their posts containing the link. Meta also appears to be disabling links to the document hosted elsewhere, such as the below post with a Scribd link, or another one purporting to link to the PDF on a Google Drive.
• Many Threads posts instead contain links to a Google search for Klippenstein’s Substack article or posting the direct link, with random spaces, words in place of punctuation, or even QR codes.

Besides not using any of those platforms, I already grabbed my copy. Too late.

It’s so disturbing how increasingly partisan every platform (their owners even more than their users) is, including Reddit. It’s not even a question of what should or should not be allowed to spread. There’s valid concern over platforms allowing misinformation and whatnot, but that’s not what we’re dealing with here. We’re dealing with corporations selectively choosing what to censor based on criteria that meets their interests.

I don’t believe they did this to Hillary’s hacked emails. It’s wild that Zuckerberg doesn’t see what’s about to happen to him in this company if Trump gets elected.
