Outsiders began petitioning the company to manipulate speech as well: first a little, then more often, then constantly,\u201d Taibbi said. \u201cBy 2020, requests from connected actors to delete tweets were routine. One executive would write to another: \u2018More to review from the Biden team.\u2019 The reply would come back: \u2018Handled.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taibbi\u2019s post shows that on October 24, team Biden asked for five tweets to be removed. According to Andrew Kerr of the Washington Free Beacon, those tweets were either drug-related photos of Hunter Biden or pornographic photos of him.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">9.
