After @Jack testifies NY Post article no longer blocked, users still unable to tweet it: Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and other big tech leaders were in the US Senate testifying once again about censorship. This visit was prompted by a unified effort to silence the NY Post's coverage of the Hunter Biden scandal, beginning with the bombshell article about his ties in Ukraine and continuing with a story about his ties to the Chinese Communist Party. During his testimony, Dorsey stated that the CCP article was no longer being blocked by Twitter. After that testimony, Abigail Marone, Rapid Response Specialist for the Trump 2020 Campaign, took to Twitter to test that out. She posted a video of her attempt, showing that she was still unable to tweet the article, instead receiving a message saying that the link had been found to be potentially harmful. TX Senator Ted Cruz quote tweeted her video and explained that he was also still unable to share the story, mentioning that it is a felony to lie under oath to the Senate. @TwitterComms was quick to respond, tagging Cruz, Dorsey, and @NYPost with this explanation: "People may have had trouble Tweeting in this specific instance because the article shared included an Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) link. Since multiple URLs can redirect to the same article, we fixed this specific use case. You should now have no issues Tweeting this." Marone subsequently attempted to share the article once again and seemed finally able to do so.
