The Post still hasn't deleted the offending tweet. Those are the rules: on a first violation of posting someone's personal information without permission you get your account locked until you delete the tweet.
- dudul 6y agoIs it what they finally settled on? because we've heard "we don't relay unverified news" and "we don't relay hacked information" as well.
- colordrops 6y agoEither way it's ridiculous. Most news is unverified. And the NY Post article wasn't hacked information.

- OliverGilan 6y agoHow do they delete the tweet if they're locked out of the account?
- mikeyouse 6y agoThere's a separate flow where they've sent the NYPost an email detailing why their account has been suspended with a link to the Tweet in question and a link saying "Delete this Tweet". As soon as they delete it, their account will be reinstated. They've chosen not to delete for either "moral" reasons or "moral outrage" reasons, but the ball is in their court.
- eznzt 6y agoDon't think the "the ball is in their court" thing applies when you don't really have a choice.
- shureluck 6y agoI love the fact New York Post are leaving their account locked. It is a better advertisement for the story, and worse for Twitter. The irony of a giant company like Twitter falling for the Streisand effect is rich.

- dilap 6y agoBut Twitter has officially stated it was a mistake to block posting of the link to the Post's story. So why is the Post's account still locked? More generally, it does not appear Twitter is impartially enforcing standards against leaking private information. There are no problems posting stories to Trump's illegally-leaked tax returns, or Melania's phone calls, for example.
