  So, just to clarify, X suspended Ken Klippenstein & blocked links to his article, citing their rule against sharing private info.  —  Meanwhile, in the Musk-endorsed ‘Twitter Files’, Matt Taibbi published the personal details of both Jack Dorsey & Ro Khanna.  —  https://www.theve…

  At least half a dozen outlets and independent reporters have received hacked Trump files from “Robert,” a front for Iranian intelligence.  To date, no reporter who's seen them has found news in them.  I've wondered who'd be the first to publish anyway.  Of course it's Klippenstei…

  I would say that this is a real test for Substack, as the originating platform.  Post-L'Affair Laptop the consensus is that the second concentric circle of platforms should not downrank or block links to the story.  Let's see how consistent folks are in that belief.

  Good stress test for moderation.  Does this constitute using social media to disseminate hacked materials?

  Iran finally found a “journalist” who would publish.  The platform?  Substack.  —  RE: https://www.threads.net/...

  Ken Klippenstein was temporarily suspended for violating our rules on posting unredacted private personal information, specifically Sen. Vance's physical addresses and the majority of his Social Security number.

  This is one of the most egregious, evil doxxing actions we've ever seen.  Presidential candidates are not speculatively in danger - there have already been two attempts on @realDonaldTrump's life.  Moreover, the doxxing included detailed information on the addresses of their chil…

  You couldn't ask for a more assured way to hand deliver Ken Klippenstein's story more coverage than seeding the headline ‘X bans journalist who shared the JD Vance dossier’

• @esjesjesj @esjesjesj on x

  Want to be clear what a lie this is: 1. Ken Klippenstein posted the dossier to his own website. He posted no information to Twitter. 2. Calling JD Vance's address “detailed information on the addresses of their children” is extremely dishonest framing. [image]

  Another account that posted about one section of the so-called dossier got temporarily locked for “posting private information” — even though the document had already been made public and was being widely circulated. No censorship detected! https://x.com/...

• @willoremus Will Oremus on x

  Elon Musk and Republican leaders have spent years decrying the previous Twitter regime's move to block the Hunter Biden laptop story under its hacked materials policy. Now Musk's X is blocking the JD Vance dossier in exactly the same way. Curious how they justify this..

• @rmac18 Ryan Mac on x

  There are parallels to the NYPost Hunter Biden laptop story. The key difference is Twitter prevented distribution of the NYPost story because it believed the material had been hacked (though it later turned out not to be.) In Klippenstein's case, it's been established that the

  The irony of this is that it appears X got rid of the page explaining its once existent “hacked materials” policy. So it's unclear why Klippenstein was suspended. https://help.x.com/... https://x.com/... [image]

  Elon/X has suspended Ken Klippenstein's account less than two hours after he posted the “JD Vance Dossier” (aka the oppo book produced for the Trump campaign on Sen. Vance in February). [image]

• @thezedwards Zach Edwards on x

  X is locking accounts that link to the J.D. Vance report released by Ken Klippenstein. I assume they are locking all the accounts that linked to the old 2016 leaked docs too? Oh right, forgot this is a partisan network now. [image]
