Yeah, I just tried it, I got: > We can't complete this request because this link has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially harmful. Visit our Help Center to learn more. NPR reporter: > From Twitter spox: "In line with our Hacked Materials Policy, as well as our approach to blocking URLs, we are taking action to block any links to or images of the material in question on Twitter." https://twitter.com/shannonpareil/status/1316452038465724417 https://twitter.com/shannonpareil/status/1316452038465724417 Which is completely nonsense as a reason; you can, to use just one of a million examples, freely post this story on twitter: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/27/us/donald-trump-taxes.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/27/us/donald-tru... Facebook is also suppressing the story. Quite remarkable.

>> From Twitter spox: "In line with our Hacked Materials Policy, as well as our approach to blocking URLs, we are taking action to block any links to or images of the material in question on Twitter." that's a huge lie. the brazilian version of the intercept got actual hacked info from federal judges/prosecutor's cellphones and twitter did absolutely nothing -- hell, it was on our trending topics for weeks (search for "vaza jato"). we know it was hacked because brazil's federal police got the hackers. seems like twitter really loves to pick-and-choose when to apply their hacked material policy.

  Yes, I agree. Twitter is clearly acting politically here; a consistent application of these rules would prohibit linking to the Trump's leaked tax-returns, among many, many other things.
