Republican leaders claim tech companies are manipulating the election by limiting the spread of a New York Post article on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. But the data shows the conversation has gone viral anyway.

As of Thursday, the article was mentioned 4.5 million times across all sources, according to the media intelligence platform Zignal Labs. What’s more, sharing of the link almost doubled on Twitter after the platform started to suppress the link, Zignal found.
