Twitter is drawing backlash over its apparent inconsistencies as it allows an article detailing the secret tax records of billionaires to spread freely after censoring articles about Hunter Biden's laptop.
ProPublica refused to disclose how it obtained the tax data published on Tuesday, saying only said it was given the IRS data in 'raw form' by a party it did not identify.
In October, Twitter blocked users from sharing a New York Post article revealing damaging information from Hunter's laptop, which had been abandoned in a repair store.
The social media site said at the time that the article violated its policy against publishing private information, as well as its prohibition on sharing hacked materials.
Critics lashed out at the apparent hypocrisy, with some even speculating that ProPublica chose not to delve into the finances of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to avoid bans from the social media giants.
'So on what basis should BigTech have censored the NYPost story on Hunter Biden's emails, but allow free sharing of the ProPublica tax report?' tweeted Andy Grewal, a law professor at the University of Iowa.
'I don't think either should be censored … I'm just wondering about BigTech's distinction,' he added.

Do they mean it was all politics?
DUH
I feel exactly the same. Recently, a waitress at a local eatery took umbrage when I asked her why she didn’t just put a bone in her nose instead of the hideous nose ring. Of course, this was after we ordered and our food was brought to the table. The manager gave us quite the smile as we left.
Don’t even get me started on tats.
Was there this much hullabaloo when they started going after President Trumps tax info?
Sadly, the foot soldiers of the Left….ANTIFA, BLM, college professors, college kids, old hippies, etc…..have no idea how the tax code works and how their heroes and idols manipulate the very same thing they fail against, and do it all for PROFIT.
