* Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey apologized and called some of the company's actions in banning the sharing of the New York Post article 'unacceptable'
* He said there hadn't been enough explanation as to why and that it was because 'personal information was shared'
* He then reposted a series of posts from Twitter where the company claimed it blocked the story because it contains 'personal information'
* The story contains screenshots where Hunter Biden's old email address and that of Ukrainian businessman Vadym Pozharskyi are shown
* Facebook says it has reduced distribution of the story until it is fact-checked
* It won't say though who is checking the story or why it thinks it's incredible
* Trump called their actions 'terrible' and threatened to remove protections which stops them from being liable for content shared on their platforms
* The Team Trump campaign Twitter has been locked because it shared the article
* Ted Cruz is now among Republicans demanding that Twitter and Facebook explain themselves
Twitter has now locked the account of Trump's re-election campaign for posting the Joe Biden Ukraine story after shutting down the White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany's account over the same thing.
Conservatives on Thursday said the extraordinary move - taken just 19 days before the election - gives Biden's campaign an unfair advantage.
On Wednesday night, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany had her account locked over the same thing.
Trump has now threatened to revoke Twitter and Facebook's Section 230 protections - which shield them from being sued over content posted on their platforms.

The Post tabloid story is pure unproven busshit! and so, not posting it is very sensible!
The Biden campaign on Wednesday rejected a New York Post report about Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter that the nation’s leading social media companies deemed so dubious that they limited access to the article on their platforms.
The report, appearing just three weeks before the election, was based on material provided by Republican allies of President Trump who have tried for months to tarnish Mr. Biden over his son. It claimed that the elder Mr. Biden had met with an adviser to a Ukrainian energy company on whose board Hunter Biden served.
A spokesman for the Biden campaign, Andrew Bates, said that Mr. Biden’s official schedules showed no meeting between Mr. Biden and the adviser, Vadym Pozharskyi.
“We have reviewed Joe Biden’s official schedules from the time and no meeting, as alleged by the New York Post, ever took place,” Mr. Bates said.
NOW TELL US WHY THIS FAKE STORY SHOULD BE CARRIED BY A REPUTABLE PLATFORM?
The NY Post story has legs. Funny thing is that Twitter's blatant censorship is actually helping get the report out there. The Biden camp has not denied it. They're just praising Twitter for suppressing it.
And regarding to "Biden's schedules", there's a three hour window of no activity on the day this meeting took place. (I wouldn't put that on my schedule either)
Also, Biden is now saying "Its possible he may have met with Pozharskyi during the U.S.-Ukraine event."
