"Respondent's suppression of the New York Post articles provides a thing of value to the Biden campaign. Respondent is acting as Biden's media operative, taking proactive steps to shield Biden from negative news coverage by blocking its distribution and muzzling those who try. If Respondent charged for this service, Biden no doubt would gladly pay a significant price."
"...to extend the Treaty now in effect unconditionally for at least a year in order to have a chance to hold substantive talks on all the parameters of problems that are regulated by treaties of this kind, lest we leave our countries and all nations of the world with a vested interest in maintaining strategic stability without such a fundamental document as the Strategic Offensive Arms Limitation Treaty (i.e., New START.)"and instructed him to
"...formulate our position to the US partners and try to obtain at least some comprehensible reply from them as soon as possible."
The "Australia solution" means the UK will not have any special agreement with the European Union, but rather would do business according to the World Trade Organization (WTO) rules starting from January, when the Brexit transition period ends. A no-deal divorce with the EU and trade on WTO rules, with all the applicable tariffs, is likely to trigger a sharp increase in prices across the UK.
London's rhetoric met with angry reaction in the EU, with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, suggesting the bloc would rather walk away from the negotiations as well but would not give in to Britain's pressure.
"We are ready for a deal, but not at any price," France's President Emmanuel Macron said, insisting that that Britain needed a deal more than the EU.
Vijaya Gadde, the global lead for legal, policy, and trust and safety at Twitter, claimed the company will be making "changes to the policy and how we enforce it" after Twitter began banning accounts that tweeted links to the stories, including members of Congress and from congressional servers.
Gadde claims Twitter will "no longer remove hacked content unless it is directly shared by hackers or those acting in concert with them," and it "will label Tweets to provide context instead of blocking links from being shared on Twitter."
Gadde cited that the changes are being made because Twitter wants "to address the concerns that there could be many unintended consequences to journalists, whistleblowers, and others in ways that are contrary to Twitter's purpose of serving the public conversation."
It appears that Twitter will still be censoring certain material by "labeling them," as Twitter and other big tech companies have routinely done in the past. "We believe that labeling Tweets and empowering people to assess content for themselves better serves the public interest and public conversation," wrote Gadde. "The Hacked Material Policy is being updated to reflect these new enforcement capabilities."
"All the other Twitter Rules will still apply to the posting of or linking to hacked materials, such as our rules against posting private information, synthetic and manipulated media, and non-consensual nudity," wrote Gadde.
The breaking news comes after Twitter suspended the Trump campaign's account, locked White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany's personal account, suspended the New York Post's Twitter account, and suppressed an official press release from House Judiciary Committee Republicans and others โ all of whom were sharing the breaking New York Post story.
Sen. Ted Cruz announced the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on Tuesday to subpoena Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and that he will testify next Friday.
