How tweet it is: Twitter backs down, unlocks Post’s account

Twitter backed down Friday in its battle with The Post and unlocked its main account after a two-week stalemate over the Hunter Biden exposé.

The move came after The Post refused Twitter’s demand that it delete six tweets that linked to stories that the company claimed — without any evidence — were based on hacked information.

The Post never budged, and kept the tweets on the account during the standoff.

Gaining respect for the New York Post!

Twitter backed down Friday in its battle with The Post and unlocked its main account after a two-week stalemate over the Hunter Biden exposé.

Nose ring jack will rue the day that he locked out the Post for 2 weeks.

This story was bubbling under the radar, but it has just created hidden demand.

When the story gets out tonight, it will go gang busters and there is nothing the msm can do to stop it.

The msm is going to look like fools for the past two weeks of trying to hide the story.

Oh yes.
They never caved.
They never gave in to the cancel culture.
They kept right on fighting.
And they gained millions of web hits from all over the word, eager to read about the Hunter Biden's laptop from hell.
And the story spread like wildfire as well.

My guess - they are doing it so they can allow the hacked/anonymous October surprise that will be released about Trump. They will allow the tweets and retweets about the Trump story and claim that since they are allowing the Biden NY Post story they have to allow the Trump story (to be fair and consistent).

I like that.

Doesn’t matter much at this point. Their whole objective was to dramatically slow the spread of the story. They and the Facebook and MSM censorship did slow it. It remains to be seen if it’s enough.

"Doesn’t matter much at this point. Their whole objective was to dramatically slow the spread of the story."

Bingo. Glad to see at least one other gets it. The plan all along was to make the story about Twitter than about Hunter Biden so it would die a ignominious death.

Dorsey would never have removed his block on the Post had it not been for the grilling he got in the Senate this week, plus being called out for lying under oath on the Post censorship.

I’m glad the Post did not cave by doing what Dorsey said was required: going hat in hand to Twit and asking to have the story removed, just to have Twit then reinstate it.

Dorsey backed down, not the Post.

Fouling out late in the forth quarter is the progressive way. Fouling out, breaking the rules is ok if you win.

Breaking the rules to destroy left wingers is ok. It’s the liberal way

[fortheDeclaration]

What else can they say about Trump that hasn’t been said?

[fortheDeclaration]

No, it actually backfired on them, exposing the entire media behind Biden, enraging even Democrats.

Not really. Twitter’s whole game plan here is to censor and run out the clock. They plan to have a mea culpa next week after Biden wins.

"“Our policies are living documents,” said one of the tweets from @TwitterSafety.
