> X responded by blocking links to the material, claiming that it contained sensitive personal information such as the Ohio US senator’s social security number, and banned Klippenstein from the platform.

That seems like a crucial detail that Guardian could have verified. Is it possible that they know the validity of that claim but chose not to mention it in the article?

I'm anti-Trump but just want to point out that the Biden administration did the same thing pressuring outlets and social media to bury the Hunter Biden laptop story. Glenn Greenwald even quit The Intercept over their trying to bury the dirt in there. We need to crush capitalism and centralized power concentrated in few hands.

That happened before the election, though? Like, Greenwald quit in October 2020. How could you say it was the administration when he wasn't in office?

It's deeply misleading for you to write that because it implies he was abusing governmental power when he was just a regular private citizen.

Silly rabbit. It's free speech for me, not for thee.
