Twitter said that they moved precipitously yesterday in locking people’s accounts and trying to suppress the Hunter Biden story, without explaining why they were doing it.
Twitter then compared it to hacked material, despite the fact that there’s no evidence it was obtained through hacking or even illegally, as of this time.
But that hasn’t stopped them from continuing to shut down the NY Post story and accounts spreading it, or even related information about it.
As we reported earlier, they even locked the main Trump campaign account, @TeamTrump, which is now back up after apparently being locked down late last night. Here’s the video that was at issue that they got locked for.
We are back and we are re-posting the video Twitter doesn’t want you to watch.
JOE BIDEN IS A LIAR WHO HAS BEEN RIPPING OFF OUR COUNTRY FOR YEARS!
PASS IT ON. pic.twitter.com/pSWyycFrEF

But now they’ve gone after the new story the NY Post put out that covers new revelations about Hunter Biden and China.
But Twitter doesn’t want you to read that one either.
Since @nypost hasn't posted in 17 hours, I'll assume they're still locked. Their lead article today: "Emails reveal how Hunter Biden tried to cash in big on behalf of family with Chinese firm" https://t.co/zBi4PNuuKT

So much for their claim that they overreacted yesterday. They’re still doing it. Notice they’re now trying to even frighten people from clicking on the link, suggesting there’s malware when, of course, there isn’t. They didn’t even bother with the old excuse of possible hacked or unreliable material.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) called them out and is calling for action, demanding Twitter and Facebook answer for their actions.
Unbelievable. Yesterday, @twitter blocks links to @nypost story alleging Joe Biden corruption on China.
TODAY, blocking links to ANOTHER NYPost story alleging Hunter Biden sold access to communist China for millions. I just tried to share that story. Here’s Twitter’s response 👇 pic.twitter.com/NZpw4gmcb2

Big tech has been getting worse and worse and worse.
But they crossed a line here with the New York Post… pic.twitter.com/oBvdLrsv0m

Cruz and other Republicans are up in arms over this and are moving to subpoena Twitter and Facebook heads to demand answers to have them before Congress next Friday, calling this out-and-out election interference. They’re voting on Tuesday on the subpoenas.
Sen. @tedcruz: "Twitter is actively blocking, right now this instant, stories from the New York Post…on Tuesday, the Judiciary Committee, the full committee, will be voting on subpoenas to subpoena @Jack Dorsey to come before our committee." pic.twitter.com/lfpEcH8xeQ
