Twitter bans distribution of hacked materials ahead of US midterm elections by Catalin Cimpanu.
From the post:
…
Twitter already had rules in place that prohibited the distribution of hacked materials that contain private information or trade secrets, but after Monday’s update, the platform’s review teams will also ban accounts that claim responsibility for a hack, make hacking threats, or issue incentives to hack specific people and accounts.…
Nevertheless, the social network hasn’t been that successful, barely putting a dent in spam-related reports, with the number of complaints going down from 17,000 in May to only 16,000 in September. More work needs to be done, and Twitter just gave its staff sharper teeth to go about their job.
See Cimpanu’s post for the full scope of the damage being done to free speech at Twitter.

As an investor, I would want to see some ROI from censorship. You?
