If any story based on "private photos and documents" is to be blocked, then most news stories must be blocked on Twitter. That includes the Snowden leaks, Panama Papers, the Pentagon Papers, virtually all Wikileaks releases, and many of the most important news stories of the past several decades. Twitter pretends to have standards by which any news story can be censored, then uses that standard to very selectively block specific stories as they choose. Also, from a journalistic perspective, it is much better to publish the source documents, as NYP has done, rather than quote from them liberally without publishing the original, as the NYT has done.
