Prior to that Twitter had never taken such action against a news outlet.

- ethanbond 4y agoEh, it’s kind of between banning the article and banning the account I suppose. They froze the account until the Post deleted the 6 offending tweets, and the Post declined to do that. Again would be a very believable standoff with any publisher once the story was in question.
