@twittersafety: Our policies are living documents. We're willing to update and adjust them when we encounter new scenarios or receive important feedback from the public. One such example is the recent change to our Hacked Materials Policy and its impact on accounts like the New York Post.
Todd Spangler / Variety: Twitter Unblocks Account of New York Post, Which Claims Victory in Standoff Over Biden Stories
Bruce Golding / New York Post: How tweet it is: Twitter backs down, unlocks Post's account
@twittersafety: This means that because a specific @nypost enforcement led us to update the Hacked Materials Policy, we will no longer restrict their account under the terms of the previous policy and they can now Tweet again.
@twittersafety: In response, we're updating our practice of not retroactively overturning prior enforcement. Decisions made under policies that are subsequently changed & published can now be appealed if the account at issue is a driver of that change. We believe this is fair and appropriate.

Mairead McArdle / National Review: Twitter Relents, Unlocks New York Post's Account after Blocking Hunter Biden Reports
Nancy Scola / @nancyscola: Twitter just changed course & unlocked the @nypost's account. Its previous approach was to say the even though the relevant policy had changed, its application of it wasn't ‘retroactive.’ https://twitter.com/...

Peter Sterne / New York Magazine:
Greenwald's break with The Intercept was inevitable: he planned to leave, viewed editing as censorship, and Substack may be able to match his six-figure salary — On Thursday, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald denounced The Intercept, the news outlet he co-founded six years ago, and announced his immediate resignation.

Alexa O'Brien / @alexadobrien: Glenn Greenwald lied in his account in the Edward Snowden saga, (from Bart Gellman's Dark Mirror). https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Shuja Haider / @shujaxhaider: gonna remember how everyone insisted “editing is not censorship” next time i ask one of you to cut a tangential personal anecdote
Mathew Ingram / @mathewi: “Glenn's idea of The Intercept was a chorus of Glenns, people who agree with Glenn,” Hodge said. “That was his vision, and that was why he became increasingly frustrated with the newsroom.” https://nymag.com/... via @intelligencer
Justin Miller / @justinjm1: NEW: Intercept staff say Greenwald was distancing himself from for years and was increasingly upset by “cancel culture” from younger journalists protesting certain speech. @petersterne reports: https://nymag.com/...
Amy Argetsinger / @amyargetsinger: @Sulliview Honestly, my impulse after that letter was to rage-edit, but then you turned in 93% flawless copy, so what could I do?
Amy Plitt / @plitter: ""Glenn considers editing censorship," Hodge said. “That's his general position. He regards any editorial intervention as censorship."" 🙄🙄🙄 https://nymag.com/...
Bill Grueskin / @bgrueskin: Every editor in America is saying, “Damn, I wish they'd let me write notes like that” https://twitter.com/...
Margaret Sullivan / @sulliview: My editor is being very nice to me today. The Greenwald Effect???
Anna Holmes / @annaholmes: They were not “glamorous portraits,” and the idea that I needed to be - or was being - defended because of anything but self-interest is laughable. https://nymag.com/...
@jslez: @Sulliview Hahaha 💛 i want it on the record that I am an automatic subscribe to your substack should the need arise
@petersterne: @BGrueskin @theintercept When I called @rogerdhodge, I asked if he wanted to go on background and he said, no I want to talk on the record.
Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: He “never, ever soiled himself with the day-to-day business of news gathering” — the brave, globally acclaimed and extremely accomplished Intercept Deputy Editor @RogerdHodge, suddenly courageous enough to voice little sniping grievances to @NYMag. https://nymag.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Dan Kennedy / @dankennedy_nu: @BGrueskin I think it's worth investigating Greenwald's claim that he had a contractual right not to be edited. (What a terrible idea.) That would seem to trump any discussion about normal editorial practice.
@intelligencer: Glenn Greenwald says he was being canceled, but insiders at The Intercept say he ostracized himself. @petersterne reports on Greenwald's resignation from the news outlet he co-founded six years ago https://nymag.com/...
@petersterne: @ggreenwald I'm about to publish an article about you and The Intercept, with a particular focus on the cultural climate of the newsroom. So far, I haven't been able to get in touch with you to hear your perspective directly, but I'd still like to at some point.
Bill Grueskin / @bgrueskin: Gotta hand it to @theintercept editors: When they criticize Greenwald, they do it on the record. None of that anonymous backstabbing stuff you get from most news orgs. via @petersterne https://nymag.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Bill Grueskin / @bgrueskin: Greenwald's draft clocks in around 5,700 words. His editor suggests it be cut to around 2,000
@pbmcbeth: Good piece in ny mag - interesting shifts going on with some marquee journos out there https://twitter.com/...
Anna Holmes / @annaholmes: GG didn't give a shit about me, about black people, or about anything other than scoring points against the idea that there was a censorious cadre of youngs within FLM. So please spare me the idea that he was in any way a defender.
Anna Holmes / @annaholmes: Also: “financial reasons.” 🙄
Bill Grueskin / @bgrueskin: I would subscribe to a Substack that consists solely of editors' and reporters' nasty notes to each other.

Katie Halper / @kthalps: I sincerely don't understand what my fellow lefties, even the ones who object to Greenwald's appearances on Tucker Carlson, think he did wrong here. Can you articulate it? Here's @mtaibbi's piece, which documents the exchange between GG & TI. https://taibbi.substack.com/ ...
Andrew Prokop / @awprokop: Greenwald's editor: Hey, keep in mind that Tony Bobulinski was Trump's debate guest Greenwald: I saw Bobulinski on Tucker and have concluded he's “inherently credible” (Not mentioned: Bobulinski reportedly worked with Trump's team for weeks beforehand) https://greenwald.substack.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Evan Hill / @evanchill: These emails show an extremely generous editor trying to ensure his publication adheres to the facts and a mission of informing the public and a writer whose primary goal seems to be neither https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...
Laura Bassett / @lebassett: This is a self-own. All the emails show is impressive editorial rigor. The editor is worried Greenwald's claims aren't factual, as he hasn't backed them up. https://twitter.com/...
Glenn Beck / @glennbeck: Another journalist censored. How do those who thought Greenwald was a ‘brave journalist’, now call him crazy, reckless or on the ‘Trump train.’ It just might be possible, the guy that broke the news on national surveillance - just reports the truth. https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...
Alexa O'Brien / @alexadobrien: I can't find the tweet now (I read it earlier, & looked and looked), but I support the sentiment that if Pulitzer were given for editor's note, this one surely deserves the prize. https://theintercept.com/...
Christopher Miller / @christopherjm: This piece is unreadable and nuts and filled with inaccuracies. Greenwald citing Taibbi citing Vogel on Ukraine and Shokin and Burisma is 🤯🤣. None of these guys are well sourced in Ukraine, they've inaccurately reported on the country and fueled right-wing conspiracy theories. https://twitter.com/...
@edburmila: I am just embarrassed for him, choosing Tony Bobulinski as the hill to die on. https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...

@taber: facing accusations that he was just throwing a gigantic fucking hissy fit, Greenwald boldly chooses to prove it beyond all doubt, and additionally instill in writers a sense of awe at what kind of excellent guidance you can get from a really sensational editor if you're Important https://twitter.com/...
Charles Gasparino / @cgasparino: Most baffling for me: MSM continues to blow it off this story even though neither @JoeBiden nor Hunter have denied the authenticity of the emails -Article on Joe and Hunter Biden Censored By The Intercept - @ggreenwald https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...
Mike Masnick / @mmasnick: Um. Those seem to show some pretty decent editing, in that your editors asked you to fix some problems in your piece that you did not support with much evidence, and then you losing it over some good suggestions? Is this really the stand you wanted to take? https://twitter.com/...

@leahmcelrath: LOL. And LIRL at, “No one can say he isn't principled.” Yes, yes we can, Bari. I actually never thought about how similar you two are, but this totally tracks now that I am thinking about it. https://twitter.com/...
Laura Bassett / @lebassett: I think there's an important distinction between being principled and being a contrarian for the sake of attention, and Glenn crossed that line at some point. https://twitter.com/...
Joanne Lipman / @joannelipman: Just as much an indictment of Media Twitter: “online enforcement mobs” of “center left Twitter luminaries” that the Intercept has “a deep fear of offending.” @ggreenwald https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...
David Klion / @davidklion: The real crisis in media is that publications are too tolerant of dissenting viewpoints, forcing staffers who are wrong about everything to resign in a fit of pique in order to achieve their desired martyrdom.
David Frum / @davidfrum: Wanted: smart, non-polemical assessment of emergence of Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, Glenn Greenwald, Donald Trump Jr., Matt Taibbi, the Federalist group of writers etc. as a coherent and cohesive faction in American politics. They share more than just the same dislikes.
Jake Swearingen / @jakeswearingen: my 4000-word resignation letter is proof positive i do not require editors anymore
Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: “The final, precipitating cause is that The Intercept's editors censored an article I wrote this week, refusing to publish it unless I remove all sections critical of Joe Biden, the candidate vehemently supported by all Intercept editors involved in this effort at suppression.”
Ashley Feinberg / @ashleyfeinberg: one more and we've got a trend baby let's go https://twitter.com/...
C. August Elliott / @caugustelliott: With Greenwald's salary now off the books, @theintercept should be able to hire 6-8 new reporters. That's a substantial boon to American investigative journalism. https://twitter.com/...
Jimmy / @jimmysecuk: He absolutely isn't principled. He has no principles. Zero. None. Nada. They do not exist. If he ever had principles, they are no longer there. They've departed. His principles have left the building. https://twitter.com/...
Ben Domenech / @bdomenech: In an era of corporate media corruption, the voices of rebellion against the dominant narrative are increasingly striking out on their own. Glenn is the latest and he won't be the last. https://twitter.com/...
Drew / @imnotowned: “Self deports.” Amazing that Glenn and Bari both pulled the same move, they voluntarily quit their cushy jobs and try to cry victim as if they were unjustly fired/cancelled. Voluntarily quitting isn't being cancelled. https://twitter.com/...
Sarah Emerson / @sarahnemerson: Never self-deport or else you won't qualify for the deportation severance package https://twitter.com/...
Bari Weiss / @bariweiss: Wow. @ggreenwald self-deports from publication he founded with a must-read resignation letter that also is an autopsy of @theintercept and so much of American journalism. Say what you want about Glenn's views. No one can say he isn't principled. https://twitter.com/...
Sohrab Ahmari / @sohrabahmari: Glenn: I can't overstate how much I admire your integrity and intellectual independence. We'd be honored to have you contribute op-ed columns to The Post on any theme you wish. https://twitter.com/...
@sjgrunewald: I say it every day, Bari. It's super easy. Glenn Greenwald is a fascist chaos agent and has no principles or integrity or ethics. See? Super easy. Also fvck you for just being you. https://twitter.com/...
Tom Gara / @tomgara: Just realized that if he's ever released from prison, Julian Assange is going to have an amazing newsletter
Elizabeth Spiers / @espiers: I say this as a former editor who had to run things by lawyers: making an ethically and legally sound decision not to publish disinformation is not censorship by your editor.
Rat King / @mikeisaac: im about to “self-lobotomize”
Dan Seifert / @dcseifert: you don't actually have to read the rambling words of the whiny man claiming to be censored and rage quitting over it
Gregg Carlstrom / @glcarlstrom: Do I even want to try and find out why y'all are subtweeting The Intercept
Joseph Cox / @josephfcox: i have no idea what the intercept pays, but will say that, generally speaking, a media outlet could hire like 7 or 8 journos who will probably do exponentially more work than greenwald with that. its totally insane.
Joseph Cox / @josephfcox: Greenwald once made $500,000 a year for barely blogging https://twitter.com/...
Matt Taibbi / @mtaibbi: I will have more on this on Substack soon. https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: @ggreenwald says he is quitting The Intercept, an outlet he co-founded, because editors “censored” an article he wrote about Joe Biden. Greenwald says he will be publishing now on Substack. https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...

Jim Manley / @jamespmanley: Ruth shalit. Now here is a name I never wanted to hear again. https://twitter.com/...
Andrew Das / @andrewdasnyt: Just re-upping this story because it turns out the author is a convicted plagiarist and some of the best details in the piece don't stand up to scrutiny. Man, you can't even trust in your schadenfreude in 2020. This year sucks. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

Dracubert Nosferatko / @albertburneko: oh wow, the story that instantly set off every reader's bullshit alarm, by the famous bullshitter, appears to have in fact been a bunch of bullshit https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Joshua Benton / @jbenton: What's weirdest for those of us who remember the 1990s @newrepublic is that what @ErikWemple finds here is much more Stephen Glass than Ruth Shalit https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Oblivier Knox / @oknox: For a certain generation of Beltway reporters, this is a little triggering. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

Benjamin Butterworth / @benjaminbutter: Exclusive: BBC staff have been banned from attending LGBT pride events and told they could be suspended if they breach the new rules. David Jordan, the head of editorial policy and standards, took the decision on Wednesday. https://inews.co.uk/...
Benjamin Butterworth / inews.co.uk: BBC staff told they could be suspended if they attend LGBT pride events under new rules
Andrew Adonis / @andrew_adonis: It is unacceptable that BBC staff, or anyone employed anywhere in Britain, should be banned from attending pride marches. A real blow to equal rights. If this is accurate, Tim Davie & the BBC need to reconsider urgently https://inews.co.uk/...
@thestephenralph: I had a pretty low opinion of Lord Hall because of how he ruined @BBCNews. Today, my view of Tim Davie has already fallen to the same level and he's only been in the job 5 minutes. 😒 #BBC #TimDavie #BBCNews https://twitter.com/...
Manoj Dias-Abey / @mdiasabey: Once you start drawing artificial boundaries between the political and non-political, you end up in all sorts of stupid places https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
@europride: The UK's national broadcaster has made a serious error of judgment. More than 250 journalists worldwide are in prison (according to @pressfreedom) and support for human rights and equality should never be contentious. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Alex Taylor / @alextaylornews: What on EARTH does this now mean ? 😀 In 40 yrs I've never been to a 🏳️🌈 Pride which wasn't “politicized” (legal discrimination, Clause 28, gay marriage, gay adoption, transgender rights etc) So BBC employees can go just as long as they only wear glitter and disco-dance ??? 😀😀 https://twitter.com/...
@jonvanbondy: Because apparently my rights as a gay man, or a black person's rights, are controversial and ‘still up for debate’. The blinding irony here is that this rule is itself the opposite of impartial. Trans people exist. Gay people exist. https://inews.co.uk/...
Sue Nelson / @sciencenelson: This could also apply to a female staff member in news/current affairs taking part in a Women's Day March on her day off. https://twitter.com/...
Peter Jukes / @peterjukes: Davie “staff need to ensure that they are not seen to be taking a stand on politicised or contested issues” But genocide, apartheid, civilian war casualties, racism, climate change - they're all contested by someone. This isn't a policy. It's retreat https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Miles King / @milesking10: oh. err.... how would they express their non-politicised attendance. https://twitter.com/...
Emily Gore-Censki / @emilygorcenski: Weird... you mean to tell me that not pushing back on a culture of rampant transphobia turns out to have wider reaching implications for civil rights and free expression? https://inews.co.uk/...
@technicallyron: BBC: “We have to be completely impartial” Also the BBC: “Let's put Nigel Farage on every programme” Also the BBC: “We better not say transgender people need rights so pride is now banned for some reason” https://twitter.com/...
Jack Monroe / @bootstrapcook: Can somebody explain how an employer barring an LGBT employee from attending a core community celebration for their protected characteristic is not an explicit contravention of the Equality Act? https://twitter.com/...
Femi / @femi_sorry: This is where you inevitably end up with a BBC so manically committed to the concept of “balance” that everything had to have two sides. Employees can't celebrate the rights of LGBT people. Next week they'll fire someone for saying racism is bad.... https://inews.co.uk/...
Seb Dance / @sebdance: This cannot be true? I'm absolutely stunned. To have the affirmation of LGBT rights contextualised as a matter of controversy is staggeringly offensive - not to mention unbelievably retrograde. There's more to this, surely?? https://twitter.com/...
Ian Betteridge / @ianbetteridge: Tim Davie's “clarification” that Pride is OK as long as you don't take part in anything “political” is pathetic, particularly given that last year the BBC withdrew from Belfast Pride because the issue of same-sex marriage is seen as “political” there. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Miqdaad Versi / @miqdaad: If I've understood this correctly, it says that BBC guidelines now allow staff to attend Pride marches but do not allow staff to attend a BLM rally? https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Peter R. Neumann / @peterrneumann: Not a lawyer, but pretty sure such a massive restriction of freedom of speech would be unlawful in most countries, definitely the US and Germany. He's essentially banning staff from expressing political views even outside work and in private capacity. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

Jim Waterson / @jimwaterson: New BBC social media rules explicitly ban their journalists from criticising fellow BBC journalists on Twitter. Which would be an interesting policy to see implemented across the industry.
Spooky Dylan Reeve / @dylanreeve: This BBC Social Media policy is unlike anything I've seen! A job (or freelance contact) at the BBC, especially in news, basically removes your right to have or express opinions on social media, even if your account is private! Even likes are policed! https://www.bbc.com/...
@fleetstreetfox: Well, I for one am looking forward hugely to the public and embarrassing employment tribunals of BBC freelancers dumped for retweeting a request for charity sponsorship on a personal account. https://twitter.com/...
Jim Waterson / @jimwaterson: Other things explicitly banned: -"Virtue signalling" that indicates a personal view even for “worthy causes” -Bio disclaimers saying “my views not the BBC's” -Revealing how you vote -Putting your “personal brand” on Twitter ahead of the BBC's reputation
Sameer Padania / @sdp: Next edition of @amolrajan's #MediaShow should be a humdinger (+ his @BBCNews coverage of this story). Even producer @HooperRJ has bio disclaimer currently... https://twitter.com/...
Tim Wyatt / The Independent: BBC journalists question new tougher social-media guidelines that ban them from ‘virtue signalling’
Zev Shalev / @zevshalev: This is a genuine crisis in journalism. If journalists cannot fully share analysis and opinion, we'll miss the next big story. More troubling, this policy effectively censors some of the better informed (by virtue of their jobs) people around. https://twitter.com/...
Matt Owen / @mjowen174: In short, the BBC are now a middle aged man who's Twitter account tells us he loves his football club, loves Europe, hates the EU and says Gary Lineker should shut up and stick to football. https://www.bbc.co.uk/...

Russ Bengtson / @russbengtson: well this thread is disturbing. your entire life should not be subsumed by your employer. https://twitter.com/...
Rachel Coldicutt / @rachelcoldicutt: Over the years, many organisations have ended up re-using BBC digital guidelines (the BBC digital Ts&Cs are an often under-rated public service in their own right). The ripples of this will be worth watching - and interesting to see emoji use by journalists being flagged. https://twitter.com/...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: New rules also explicitly ban disclaimers in your bio saying “my views not the BBC's.” You can't say that any longer. (In other words, your views ARE seen as the BBC's by the Corporation's enemies...) https://twitter.com/...
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: BBC: “Following social media accounts which reflect only one point of view on matters of public policy, politics or ‘controversial subjects’ may create a similar impression.” Following these accounts is part of *reporting* and *listening.* That is or was a journalist's job.
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: From the BBC: “f) Do not offer judgements beyond your specialism.” Do not show yourself to be a well-rounded human being with many interests.
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: The BBC: “j) Do not break news on a personal account; if you have a story to break, the BBC platforms are your priority, even if it takes slightly longer.” Informing the public is a lower priority than filling the air.
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: The BBC: “g) Do not support campaigns, (eg. by using hashtags) no matter how apparently worthy the cause or how much their message appears to be accepted or uncontroversial.” How about hashtag campaigns to free imprisoned journalists, for example? #FreeAustinTice
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: From the BBC: “l) Do use separate posts on public issues rather than join threads started by others.” I read this as: Do not join the public conversation. Call your own. This cuts off the opportunity to add journalism to that conversation.
@markpack: The BBC face a similar challenge to the one political parties face. Having all your internal disagreements played out in public and via the anger-raising medium of social media is a path to failure. But the answer isn't to silence all public disagreement on social media.
@markpack: So the next time @TimHarford and the More or Less team spot a mistake in the use of numbers on another BBC show, they're not allowed to highlight that via social media? https://twitter.com/...
Simon Blackwell / @simonblackwell: Shades of the 1948 Green Book about these new BBC social media guidelines. https://twitter.com/...
Kieran Hurley / @kieran_hurley: I know there's other bigger news today but that the BBC has adopted and legitimised the phrase “virtue signalling” by using it in its new social media guideline rules (banning it no less) is extremely grim imo https://twitter.com/...
