Last night, Twitter announced that they’re tweaking their “Hacked Material Policy.” You know, just to ensure something like their colossal New York Post censorship nightmare never happens again.
Jack Dorsey further commented on the changes this morning:
Straight blocking of URLs was wrong, and we updated our policy and enforcement to fix. Our goal is to attempt to add context, and now we have capabilities to do that. https://t.co/ZLUw3YD887

Neither can Sen. Josh Hawley:
I’m looking forward to asking you about this. Under oath. https://t.co/ZERLIqa0Mb

And we look forward to watching Jack Dorsey try to squirm his way out of this.
We did it for two days in a row – and held accounts hostage until they deleted the tweets – but wow, now we see that was wrong https://t.co/oOeallf2Rd

Translation: We did something really stupid and got caught. Next time we’ll be sneakier about it. https://t.co/axGwk4M3lI

So, the initial reason for blocking the @nypost story and suspension of accounts who shared it wasn't true. Is an apology forthcoming? @ComfortablySmug https://t.co/7Taw01Mqnp

It will be fun watching Twitter vacillate between what constitutes "hacked material" and what doesn't. https://t.co/ilYt0xVxJ4
