“We want to provide much needed clarity,” said Twitter in their attempted PR cover-up of their blatant effort to influence the U.S. election. And they sure made themselves clear, alright. If it wasn’t already clear who they are, it should be now.
Read this poppycock, as their basically endorsed candidate would put it.
We want to provide much needed clarity around the actions we’ve taken with respect to two NY Post articles that were first Tweeted this morning.

As noted this morning, we also currently view materials included in the articles as violations of our Hacked Materials Policy.https://t.co/gCY4BnBHHa

And Jack weighed in to say that their only mistake was not explaining it well enough.
Our communication around our actions on the @nypost article was not great. And blocking URL sharing via tweet or DM with zero context as to why we’re blocking: unacceptable. https://t.co/v55vDVVlgt
