Trump campaign worked with Musk’s X to keep leaked JD Vance file off platform
Trump’s presidential campaign worked with X to prevent information about his running mate JD Vance from being posted on the social media platform
-- a move that resulted in the journalist who revealed the information being kicked off the site, according to reports.The GOP candidate’s team contacted X, owned by the billionaire Trump backer Elon Musk, about a 271-page document compiled by his campaign to vet Vance that was linked to by #Ken #Klippenstein, an independent journalist, the New York Times has reported.
X responded by #blocking links to the material, claiming that it contained sensitive personal information such as the Ohio US senator’s social security number, and banned Klippenstein from the platform.
The materials published by Klippenstein on his Substack in September appear to be related to a hack of the Trump campaign earlier this year,
which the FBI has linked to Iran.
Documents from the hack have been shared with several media outlets, which have chosen to not publish them.Media outlets did NOT reach the same decision when they gave significant attention to files from #Hillary #Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign that were hacked and leaked by Russian intelligence
before she ultimately lost that election to Trump.At one point Trump also said he hoped Russia would be “able to find” some of Clinton’s files

What X silencing the journalist reporting on hacked materials shows about the ethics of weaponized disclosures
#Klippenstein notes that his silencing by X is political -- the company has used a hammer where it could have wielded a scalpel:
X typically provides users who post something in violation of its policies the opportunity to remove the offending posts in order to have their accounts reinstated.
I have received no such offer.
As an experiment, last night my editor and I decided to redact all “private” information from the Vance Dossier in my story here at Substack.
Despite filing an appeal in which I mention this, I remain banned.
So it’s not about a violation of X’s policies.
What else would you call this but politically motivated?

Independent journalist #Ken #Klippenstein was suspended from X after he 🔸published the hacked dossier compiled by the Trump campaign during its #vetting of JD #Vance.
Back in February, the Trump campaign compiled a research dossier on Vance in order to vet the Ohio senator as a potential running mate for Donald Trump.
The 271-page document included a section about “potential vulnerabilities,” which included his past criticism of the former president.
Soon after Trump picked Vance as his vice presidential nominee, an individual known as “#Robert” sent the document to a reporter from Politico.
In August, The Trump campaign revealed it had been ⚠️ hacked by Iranian intelligence.
Several other outlets were sent the vetting documents, but all refused to print its contents
— on the grounds of both the unclear provenance of the information as well as its apparent lack of newsworthiness.Some criticized those outlets for their refusal to make the documents public.
Klippenstein on Thursday published the dossier via his website.
“The dossier has been offered to me and I’ve decided to publish it because it’s of keen public interest in an election season,” Klippenstein wrote.
“It’s a 271-page research paper the Trump campaign prepared to vet now vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance.
As far as I can tell, it hasn’t been altered, but even if it was, its contents are publicly verifiable. I’ll let it speak for itself.”
His account was suspended hours after publishing the dossier.

I'll post this here since it's being suppressed on the bird site.
