Threads joins X in blocking posts to apparently leaked documents about JD Vance
Threads is blocking links to purportedly leaked documents about vice presidential candidate JD Vance. Elon Musk's X blocked links earlier this week.
Threads is following X's lead, blocking links to purportedly leaked documents about vice presidential candidate JD Vance.
Meta says the links could come from hacked or leaked sources — and it's blocking them because of the potential connection. The FBI and other intelligence agencies last month warned that Iran-backed hackers had sought to access information from the Trump campaign.
Purportedly hacked documents have been floating around various media outlets ever since, and while the existence of these documents has been reported, almost all outlets have refused to publish the details due to the potentially illicit way they were obtained.

Interesting how documents from democratic campaigns are fair game. Even dick pics of the president's son are fair game. But when it comes to Republicans Suddenly It's all off limits. Strange.
I believe the former is the reason for the policy affecting the latter.
In a rational world? Perhaps. But if this were a rational world and that were actually the reason. They would have done it after the Clinton campaign leaked documents. Or 30 times before that. So I highly suspect that isn't the case. It's that it's impacting the people they want to win personally. Therefore it must be censored. And for all the many faults Democrats have. They're not being hypocritical on this point at least. The Biden campaign was contacted with this information previously but didn't publish it or run with it. Not like any Republican or specifically Trump officials would have.
Similarly in 2000, Gore campaign reported a leak from the Bush campaign to the FBI.
They have a rule in the House specifically to prevent anyone out talking disparagingly about the Cheeto Mussolini. Well former Presidents I believe, but the point stands.
