We want to provide much needed clarity around the actions we’ve taken with respect to two NY Post articles that were first Tweeted this morning.

As noted this morning, we also currently view materials included in the articles as violations of our Hacked Materials Policy.https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/hacked-materials …

Commentary on or discussion about hacked materials, such as articles that cover them but do not include or link to the materials themselves, aren’t a violation of this policy. Our policy only covers links to or images of hacked material themselves.

The policy, established in 2018, prohibits the use of our service to distribute content obtained without authorization. We don’t want to incentivize hacking by allowing Twitter to be used as distribution for possibly illegally obtained materials.https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2018/an-update-on-our-elections-integrity-work.html …

We know we have more work to do to provide clarity in our product when we enforce our rules in this manner. We should provide additional clarity and context when preventing the Tweeting or DMing of URLs that violate our policies.

Nothing was hacked. Hunter voluntarily submitted all his personal emails and never claimed them. Check your sources

The hunter biden leaks weren't hacked. They were on a computer he forgot to pay the repair bill on that then became the shops property due to their agreement
-
Right. He just forgot to pick up a laptop with a bunch of sensitive information on it that a blind man copied and gave to the FBI. That’s definitely a really bad episode of some really bad TV show.

You had Trumps taxes trending for a week and they were illegally acquired and from an unverifiable anonymous source.
-
Notice the wording: “Commentary about the leak is fine as long as it does not include a link to that hacked information.” The tax returns are not even public information yet, so that means the NYT article doesn’t violate Twitter’s rules, as opposed to the NY Post one.
