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.
