>>because I'm sure your programmed knee-jerk reaction<<<

You don't have to be rude. I have engaged in a polite conversation with you.

>>And then comes the double standards <<<

Yes, you can argue that Twitter exhibits double standards in some instances. But it has nothing to do with the original debate you and I were having which is - what was the reason Greenwald's article was not published.

Also, Trump's tax returns were not hacked. They were provided (though without his knowledge) by someone who had legal access to it (like Mary Trump and she did say she provided it) but again you can argue a double standard.

His wife's phone conversations were not hacked. One of the participants in the call recorded it and released it (and the state she was in allows one participant to record a call)



>Yes, you can argue that Twitter exhibits double standards in some instances. But it has nothing to do with the original debate you and I were having which is - what was the reason Greenwald's article was not published.

It absolutely is relevant. There is clear coordination between these organizations to suppress information. You can't look at the bannings occurring across multiple media platforms simultaneously (multiple instances) and not draw this conclusion. Further, there's a revolving door between government agencies and media companies - this industry is carrying water for the powers that be.

>Also, Trump's tax returns were not hacked

What is social engineering? You're arguing in trivial semantics and missing the forest for the trees.

Hacked was never a legitimate threshold for suppressing information before someone in power was threatened.
