They = Twitter in this instance, not the Biden team. Taibbi jumps from one event to the other as if to draw a line between them but there is an important distinction. None of the evidence presented shows the Biden team asking Twitter to take down the NY Post story, just the pornographic images posted.
Twitter censored everything to do with the Hunter Biden laptop story, they also took the extreme position of locking the NY Post account down over the article.
Matt Taibbi is showing requests to remove tweets related to the Biden laptop story from the Biden team and from the DNC, and showing Twitter rubber stamping those requests. No pushback. No review. Just "handled". It wasn't just pornographic images. It was buried as much as possible and flagged as disinformation across the platform.

But that's exactly it: by the evidence presented it was just the pornographic images. Taibbi lumps the NY Post issue together with the tweets to insinuate a connection but there's no presented evidence to prove that the Biden team requested the article removal. You’re following Taibbi’s narrative, not the evidence.
> some have alleged it contains child pornography as well (with Hunter in the scene)
This is a tremendously incendiary and defamatory claim to make on the basis of "some have alleged". Unless you're willing to name your sources you should not post claims like this.
