The New York Post has been locked out of Twitter over a story that they published on Joe Biden’s alleged corruption. This according to business reporter Noah Manskar, who claimed that it was because the story violated the policy against the “distribution of hacked material.”
The Post’s primary Twitter account (@nypost) has also been locked because the Hunter Biden stories violate its rules against “distribution of hacked material,” per email we received from Twitter https://t.co/wbeYd6c3CA

It was only last month that the Post reported that Carlos Monje, who had served as Twitter’s director or public policy, left Twitter for a position with the Biden transition team. Now, Twitter is actively suppressing information that reflects badly on the Biden campaign.
The question arose as to when the Post would be able to have its account back. Typically, when Twitter suspends an account, their terms are that the offending post be deleted, or the account will not be reinstated.
So @nypost gets its account unlocked when, exactly? When they unpublish the story Twitter dislikes?…
