What was the point of asking this question? It's (firstly) a mischaracterization of what happened, and secondly, when I say "yes", you're going to either not respond, or say "yeah right" and right off my response as misinformed or propaganda. There's no point in having the discussion if you assume your conclusions.
- abernard1 6y agoThe emails in question have an eminently unqualified son of the Vice President of the United States making $50K a month from a Ukranian energy company. And that company thanking him for meeting with his father. If Donald Trump Jr. did this exact thing and his father was the person in the email, would he get a Twitter removal? Would there have been an army of Twitter moderators in the wings to protect his privacy? Would they ban the Biden campaign from even mentioning the article existed? And yes, you know what I'm going to say. "Yeah right." Because the reasons Twitter gave for the takedown happened quite a while afterwards and they had to change their policy to justify it. Currently, acquired knowledge of Trump's taxes is PII, and it's illegal. That hasn't stopped Twitter from doing absolutely nothing about it, along with hundreds of other high-profile examples over the years.
