Twitter has a clear policy about posting and linking to doxxing / stolen private files / revenge porn. They never blocked based on commentary about the the laptop or the Burisma allegations, and only blocked NY Post account until they stopped trying to post the doxxing / revenge porn content.

Excellent. So when is Twitter going to ban Taylor Lorenz for doxxing an anonymous Twitter user LibsofTikTok? This is her tweet right here: https://twitter.com/TaylorLorenz/status/1516399663305297920

It has been up since April 19th, 2022. Twitter immediately blocked New York Post's tweet.

I wonder why the algorithm is so slow when it comes to Taylor Lorenz? Maybe we'll find out when the code is open sourced. Then we can all legitimately blame "the algorithm" for causing all this divide between the left and right wing in a neutral, faultless, perfect digital town square called Twitter.
