You're seeing the immense, unchallengeable, unaccountable power of Silicon Valley giants over the flow of information. Imagine if Google joins in.

The NY Post story was a minor, largely redundant report even if the docs are real.

The extreme act of censorship by tech giants to suppress it, cheered on by journalists, is a major story of historic proportions.

They always had this undemocratic power; today they used it.

The exposés about the Bolsonaro Govt we did all last year and still -- that won journalism prizes, led to the reversal of convictions, resulted in disciplinary charges for prosecutors, etc. - were based on hacked phones. Should that have been censored? https://theintercept.com/2019/06/09/brazil-archive-operation-car-wash/
