This is certainly the kind of transparency twitter needs to regain it's appearance of neutrality. It's some well-played PR for the platform at least.

What transparency? Tabbi is complaining that the Biden administration asked them to delete pictures of Hunter Biden's dick from Twitter and the rest of the thread is just absolutely nothing. Unless you think his dick needs to be a matter of public opinion and shown to everyone on Twitter I don't see how any of this matters at all.

How is it nothing? They locked out Kaleigh McEnany from her account for tweeting about the story.
How long was she locked out for?
Until she deleted her tweet that linked to the NY Post story.

Blocking DMs from sharing URLs to a mainstream news story is CCP-level censorship. I'd expect to read about this happening on WeChat, not here. Yet here we are.

Twitter admitted it was a wrong decision and reverted it. So itβs more "here we were" than "here we are".
