Twitter has a clear policy about hacked material [1]. So stories based on emails harvested from a hack are not shareable. Theoretically even flattering stories would also be blocked if the source material came as a result of a hack.

This wasn't really a 'hack'. A laptop repair store backed up the drive and then sold the backup. It's shady, but not illegal.

I read the policy. I think that's a good policy that isn't politically motivated.
