> and this is the tie in, releasing said information on his personal twitter account. Now this is normally fine based on RegFD but he has blocked people on twitter and RegFD is very clear that information can't not be disseminated in a way that isn't available to everyone at the same time.

How does that work when the account is public and can be read by anyone (presumably including any blocked users) by just not signing in?

Was it a reply? I can see the one that says "funding secured" without signing in.

Even for a reply, can't you still read it without signing in starting from the tweet it's a reply to?
