Twitter Still Blocking a NY Post Story Based on Alleged Hunter Biden Emails, Newspaper’s Account Remains Frozen

However, as of Saturday, Twitter was still blocking tweets to another Post piece about Hunter’s alleged attempts to secure deals with Shanghai-based CEFC China Energy Co. — including reportedly getting his dad a cut of the action — based on the same “massive trove” of material from the laptop that someone had abandoned in a Delaware computer-repair store. (The Post said it was unable to confirm the laptop actually belonged to Hunter Biden.)

Attempts to share the Post’s Hunter Biden/China article on Twitter currently return this message: “We can’t complete this request because this link has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially harmful.”

Asked Saturday why Twitter was still blocking one of the Post’s stories while unblocking others, a Twitter rep declined to provide an explanation.

The New York Post’s Twitter account continues to be locked, after the social net froze it Wednesday over violations of the hacked-materials policy. “We do not retroactively change enforcement decisions, so the NY Post’s account will be unlocked as soon as they delete the earlier Tweets which we indicated were violations,” a Twitter spokeswoman told Variety. But Twitter did retroactively change its decision on at least two of the Post’s stories in unblocking them.
