Spreading misinformation, lies and libel about the Trump family is common.  A senior staff engineer inquired why the media wasn’t looking into [[Melania Trump]]’s “possible stint as a sex worker.”  The First Lady denied this allegation and successfully sued over it.  Twitter’s “head of integrity” Yoel Roth, who helped author the policy update used by the company to flag and label posts from President Trump, compared [[White House]] officials to "[[Nazi]]s" and Trump to a “racist tangerine.”

Twitter justified blocking the ''New York Post's'' scoop on the Biden Burisma scandal claiming it violated Twitter's "Hacked Material Policy." The policy “prohibits the use of our service to distribute content obtained without authorization” because, they said, they “don’t want to incentivize hacking by allowing Twitter to be used as distribution for possibly illegally obtained materials.”  That standard would result in the banning from the platform the ''[[Pentagon Papers]]'' which ultimately toppled [[Richard Nixon]], the [[Snowden]] reporting, the [[Panama Papers]], the [[DNC]] and [[John Podesta|Podesta emails]] that exposed corruption and forced the 2016 resignation of the top five officials of the [[Democratic National Committee]], and President Trump's tax returns.
