What's the definition of hack? If we believe NY Post's story, did a hack happen? Or are we assuming NY Post's story is false, and the materials came from an unreported hack?
- prawn 6y agoI was just going by Twitter's statement in response. Hadn't looked into it beyond that. "Twitter blocked users from sharing an article that indicated Hunter Biden introduced his father Joe to a Ukranian businessman — charging that “hacked materials” were used in the story."
- odessacubbage 6y agothe zimmerman telegraph and the pentegon papers could both be roughly described as 'hacked materials' i think most would agree they still fell firmly within the public interest.
- thu2111 6y agoThe NY Post states no hacking occurred and this allegation is itself "baseless". It appears Twitter/FB simply assumed it must be hacking so they could use trigger their anti-doxxing policies, as otherwise they'd have had no policies to block it, as it's clearly journalism. But if the NY Post are telling the truth then it's actually FB/Twitter spreading misinformation. Very, very bad move by Twitter and Facebook. The partisan rule-bending is clear.
