The New York Post’s Twitter account is still locked, eight days after they published a report about Joe Biden’s alleged involvement with his son’s business dealings in Ukraine. The account has nearly two-million followers.
The story specifically stated that Hunter Biden tried to introduce an executive at Ukrainian energy company, Burisma to the elder Biden who was the vice president at the time. Now, the Democratic nominee for president, Mr. Biden calls the story a “smear”.
The social media giant refuses to unlock the account unless the Post deletes six tweets that it sent out about the story. Both Twitter and Facebook came under fire last week for censoring users that shared the story.
Thursday, Republican lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to send subpoenas for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to testify about their handling of the story.
Twitter said it made the decision to censor people from sharing the story under its ‘hacked material’ policy. The story contained personal contact information and material allegedly taken from a laptop that belonged to Hunter Biden.
