Twitter confirmed Friday that it will now allow users to share links to the New York Post article titled “Hunter Biden emails show leveraging connections with his father to boost Burisma pay.”
A spokesperson for the social media platform told The Hill that netizens are now allowed to share the link to the article because “the once private information included is now widely available in the press and on other digital platforms.”
This move was carried out by Twitter Thursday night, following continued backlash from Republicans for over a day.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) issued letters on the matter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and the Federal Election Commission, respectively.
Dorsey previously slammed his company’s failure to communicate with the public on Wednesday.
“Our communication around our actions on the @nypost article was not great,” Dorsey tweeted alongside the Twitter Safety announcement. “And blocking URL sharing via tweet or DM with zero context as to why we’re blocking: unacceptable.”
The platform previously claimed that the article, which shared unredacted emails allegedly exchanged between Hunter Biden and a Ukrainian businessman, violated its “Hacked Materials Policy.”
“They are merely reacting to public pressure and therefore will be susceptible to politician influence for some time to come.”
