I, an editor at The New York Post, one of the nation’s largest papers by circulation, can’t post one of our own stories that details corruption by a major-party presidential candidate, Biden

Uhhh... didn't he just post it?

Does this guy know that Twitter is just a small part of the online world?

This frankly makes him sound like a whiny little bitch.

Post it somewhere else, you punk. Are you married to Twitter?

He can post it to a hundred other places, all of which are conservative echo chambers and will have no effect on changing peoples’ minds.

Like it or not, Twitter provides an audience size that can’t be matched anyplace else. That is why Trump uses it. It will take years for an outfit like Parler to match that reach.

Twitter is hardly a 'small part' of the online world. It's the 3rd most-visited website on earth (facebook, btw -- who is also censoring this story -- is 4th). Twitter also self-describes themselves as follows (see app stores about their phone app for this):

"Join the conversation! Twitter is your go-to social media app and the source for what's happening in the world. Tweets cover trending topics from world news to local news, celebrity gossip to sports and gaming, politics to fun stories that go viral, if it happens in the world, it is trending now on Twitter."

Of course, that message should read "if it happens in the world and it's something we approve of sharing...".

So yeah - the NYP published the story. They also will routinely share their stories on other platforms for more readership. Except this particular one is being snuffed for 'fact-checking' reasons.

Looks like a screen capture of the denial from Twitter. He can’t post the actual link to the Post story. You’d think they would allow the editor of the Post to post his own link. Well, at least, I would. Otherwise, it’s censorship.

Yes he was able to post it but Twatter responded back that nobody will be able to see it. Censorship at its most diabolical.

Do you live in a cave with other ignorant people?

He’s already posted it somewhere else, in the New York Post newspaper.
