The Twitter executive responsible for blocking stories about Hunter Biden's laptop is one of several advisers to the Aspen Institute's disinformation commission.
Yoel Roth is one of several questionable advisers to Aspen's Commission on Information Disorder, which on Monday released its much-anticipated report. Commission members include Katie Couric, who recently acknowledged that she edited comments on National Anthem protests out of a 2016 interview with Ruth Bader Ginsburg to preserve the justice's reputation with liberals. Another commissioner, Rashad Robinson, helped fuel actor Jussie Smollett's hate crime hoax.
Commission members' censorship of legitimate news stories could undercut their lofty mission. The commission blamed "decreasing levels of public trust" in public institutions for the crisis, which it dubs a "whole-of-society problem that can have life-or-death consequences." Its report calls for Congress and the White House to take action to counteract disinformation.
Roth, the head of site integrity at Twitter, blocked access to an Oct. 14, 2020, New York Post article regarding emails from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop. Roth told the Federal Elections Commission he blocked the story in part because the intelligence community had briefed him that foreign governments might release hacked materials prior to the election. No evidence has emerged that Biden's laptop was stolen or hacked, and Twitter founder Jack Dorsey has since acknowledged that the company should not have blocked links to the story.
The Aspen Commission report criticizes Twitter and other social media companies for failures to rein in disinformation but does not cite Twitter's censorship of the Biden article.
The tech billionaire who funded the commission, Craig Newmark, has sponsored research that pushed disinformation about Biden's laptop. Newmark paid for a study from New York University that asserted that social media companies are not biased against conservatives. The report defended Twitter's decision to block the Hunter Biden laptop story and pushed the unsubstantiated claim that the news reports were based on "stolen" documents.

Nothing surprising here. Unfortunately the majority of people will not find out about it. Reading through the small list of people posted here as being members of this group, does anyone really believe Biden wants to "tax the rich"? Phoneys and frauds all of them.
And the Fraud we now have usurping the office?................I said a LONG time ago. This Schiff show ran deep. Sci-Fi deep!
