America’s high-tech tyranny is more sophisticated than Putin’s autocracy

Here s what actually took place: On Monday, the US Federal Election Commission decreed that there was nothing untoward about Twitter s decision to censor a story in this newspaper in October detailing Hunter Biden s corrupt dealings, including his arranging a 2015 meeting between his father, then the second-most powerful man in the world and the Obama administration s point man on Ukraine, and Burisma, a shady Ukrainian energy firm that was paying the illustrious vice-presidential son some $83,000 a month for, umm, his expertise in Eastern-European energy affairs, no doubt.

The FEC, it seems, has concluded that Twitter s decision was a purely commercial one, having to do with the tech giant s policy against publishing hacked materials, according to an outline of its ruling obtained by The New York Times (most likely thanks to a leak by a left-leaning member of the FEC staff).

The decision, and the Times ­report announcing it, are a tangle of lies: No, the Hunter story wasn t based on hacked materials: The Post was clear all along how it obtained the laptop material. And it bears ­repeating for the thousandth time: Neither Hunter nor his father has disputed the authenticity of the e-mails obtained by The Post. Hunter has even suggested the laptop could be his. The Post story is emphatically not unsubstantiated.

Maybe you *can* have your own facts, if the FEC says so.
