>But blocking links to hacked documents regarding JD Vance seems a little suspect considering that, as the article mentions, he was opposed to blocking links to hacked documents about Hunter Biden

Per X, the links were blocked because they included un-redacted personal information such as address and SSN.

If that’s true I would say blocking is credible. I’d rather err on the side of caution on exposing potential privacy information.

If there was no private info - obviously the block is b.s. But considering they’ve mentioned privacy details in the doc I’m prepared to give them the benefit of doubt for a few days or ask the initial poster to send a redacted version.

I'm not gonna spend an hour poring over the thing for an SSN, but it does have his unredacted home addresses in both Ohio and DC.

In the United States, the addresses of politicians are public records.

It's how journalists and the general public verify that they live in the districts they are elected to represent.

The policies of the United States government really have nothing to do with the policies a social media website can or should enact. I'm honestly not sure what I think of this precise situation, but it's not crazy to think that nothing good will come from running around posting the home addresses of unpopular politicians.

His address is public info, available on dozens of state and local election sites.

For comparison, Elon previously leaked "the Twitter files" to reporter Matt Taibbi, who posted the address of prior Twitter executives. Needless to say, Taibbi was not banned.

Per Elon, photos of Hunter Bidens penis was a public interest story.
