* Account had been locked since October 14 over Hunter Biden articles
* Twitter lifted a ban on the articles, but had insisted Post delete original tweets
* Now Twitter is reversing its policy of not retroactively reversing enforcement
* It comes after Senator Ted Cruz blasted Twitter CEO Jack Dorey in a hearing
Twitter has backed down and unlocked the main account of the New York Post following a two-week stalemate over the newspaper's articles about Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings.
The social media company on Friday said it would reverse its prior demand that the Post delete tweets linking to the Biden articles, after CEO Jack Dorsey faced excoriation in a Senate hearing this week.
Twitter had already reversed its initial ban on tweeting links to the Post articles, but said it would not retroactively change its decision to lock the newspaper's account, insisting the original tweets be deleted.

WNU Editor: The New York Post is celebrating .... How tweet it is: Twitter backs down, unlocks Post’s account (New York Post). As for Twitter. They had no choice. Everyday they were blocking the New York Post account was damaging their brand. They showed their political bias and they have now jeopardized the many legal protections that they have from not being sued. Investors are also taking note .... Twitter’s stock price plunged more than 21 percent Friday, to $41.36 a share, down $11.09. (NYPost).

Twitter learned nothing. They merely calculated.
If there is Biden presidency they will lock down as they please. If a minor or middling liberal person or group gets smart with them, they will say they fought the good fight and held of the NY Post for a week or more. By the time they retreated it was too little too late to help Trump.
All they understand is the regulatory landscape (and who is running it) and the stock price/market share.
There was nothing moral in their decision just calculation.
People need to go to Gab or Parler. If Twit disappears, you had better check Gab and Parler for Twitter refugees, who are just biding their time until they can take over from the inside.
Jack Dorsey lied so much, so blatantly, it's insane. Has he been compromised as part of the Chinese thousand talents program? Clear election interference, I hope Twitter crashes further, they deserve it. For years they've lied through their teeth about suppressing conservative voices .. I hope a class action lawsuit will be filed next week, it's not normal
So my calculus is that this stock drop shows why Trump is going to win big! If you look at the data, it’s clear.
