that's a huge lie. the brazilian version of the intercept got actual hacked info from federal judges/prosecutor's cellphones and twitter did absolutely nothing -- hell, it was on our trending topics for weeks (search for "vaza jato").
we know it was hacked because brazil's federal police got the hackers.
seems like twitter really loves to pick-and-choose when to apply their hacked material policy.
Yes, I agree. Twitter is clearly acting politically here; a consistent application of these rules would prohibit linking to the Trump's leaked tax-returns, among many, many other things.

Which is completely nonsense as a reason; you can, to use just one of a million examples, freely post this story on twitter:
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/27/us/donald-tru...
Facebook is also suppressing the story.
Quite remarkable.
