Twitter's use of its "hacked material" policy to block investigative reports on emails allegedly obtained from an abandoned laptop opens a pretty significant can of wormshttps://twitter.com/thedailybeast/status/1316459948092657664 …
Will this incentivize outlets to withhold information about the source of materials they publish/report on? Broadly, investigative reporting relies heavily on documents provided by people who aren't authorized to access or share them

To his credit, @jack seems to have thrown his team under the bus on this one
Jack is busy running a dozen other companies right now - hard for home to be on top of this one publicly traded company the leader of the free world uses to communicate.
It seems like this is how we want sites responding to likely fake news drops. There isn't a clear solution you can codify for all situations, so the next best thing is to block likely hoaxes with high risk. It's easy enough to undo it later if needed.

How are the emails and wire transfers false? Why is a VP's son is receiving $50k a month to serve on a gas company's board, and $3.5 million from a Putin insider? Is he being paid for his skills or for access to dad? Pretending this isn't a thing requires cult-level denial.
