Twitter began censoring mentions of an explosive October 2020 New York Post report detailing the sordid contents of a laptop left by Hunter Biden at a computer repair store—going as far as to suspend the account of White House spokeswoman Kaleigh McEnany—under the excuse that the Biden story was in violation of Twitter’s “Hacked Materials policy,” investigative journalist Matt Taibi revealed Friday.Per Taibi, in many cases Twitter did so despite lacking any proof for their claim that the laptop material had been obtained through illegal means. And email records indicate they knew it, too.“I support the conclusion that we need more facts to assess whether the materials were hacked,” Twitter’s Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker reportedly wrote at the time in an email.In another leaked email exchange, Trenton Kennedy, Twitter’s U.S. Policy Communications Manager, admitted he was “struggling to understand the policy basis for marking this as unsafe” as well.
