A senior Twitter official told me someone with knowledge of the matter thinks this is partisan bias.
this is absolutely fucking insane. the story is now being censored by twitter for “unconfirmed claims.” unconfirmed by who? the post made the claim. is the rule henceforth all new claims need to be fact-checked by a third party? because that’s... all journalism.

in which case why didn't they censor any of the Steele stuff, or the NYT for the unconfirmed tax return article. Or suspend the accounts of the reporters who were saying "anonymous sources" reported Trump to be basically on his deathbed a week and a half ago.

Where was the censorship over recent news stories that relied solely on anonymous sources that slammed Trump on alleged remarks on the military or his tax returns? Hardly a Trump supporter over here but the double standard from Twitter on this is pretty outrageous.

Well, at least we know why this was censored now (I didn’t understand before) — because the information was hacked off of a private computer and Twitter has an anti-hacking distribution policy (and probably because the FBI is investigating).

The new standard is double blind peer reviewed journalism.

does not mean "all new claims" need to be fact checked by a third party. why would it?
