Why did @mtaibbi launch the Twitter Files by suggesting that Biden officials got Twitter to delete tweets… without disclosing that the tweets included non consensual nude images of the president’s son Hunter? @mehdirhasan asked him: Full interview: youtube.com/a597e6Wv_xg

Anyone can indeed report Tweets if they think it doesn’t abide by Twitter’s Terms of Service. They don’t have direct access but they do have a means to contact Twitter. Taibbi is a hack.

A Proud Boy once posted my address on Twitter. I had to contact Twitter and send a copy of my ID to prove what happened. The Tweet was removed. How is that different than the Biden campaign? Maybe it happened faster for them but it was the same process.

@mtaibbi admits that this is all payback for the Trump/Russian collusion story? #Snowflake
If they were nonconsensual nude photos of Hunter Biden, then you admit that the laptop is his and they are, indeed of him smoking crack and having sex with underaged girls?
@mehdirhasan is the Jerry Springer of journalism.
This is why him and @bariweiss and so many others just lose all credibility as these “Twitter files” have shown nothing close to what they purposefully try to spin, to fabricate some type of conspiracy.

I’ll field this question, Mehdi: If the basis for removing the images was “nonconsensual nudes”, @twitter would not have lied about the pretext and called it “hacked material” (which it wasn’t). Also, arguably, it was not “nonconsensual”, since all were taken quite consensually/proudly. And the laptop wilfully abandoned as per terms of service / law. Also, not so arguably, absolutely newsworthy material. Also, even if “nonconsensual” (which is denied), why did intelligence lie about the authenticity of the images and try to claim / coerce Twitter to claim it was Russian disinformation? Respectfully submitted.

In general, when an interviewer is filibustering his interviewee, he's not out to find the truth and he's definitely not trying to get a thought-out answer. People do fall for this stuff, though, but I think less and less
