X is preventing users from posting links to a newsletter containing a hacked document that’s alleged to be the Trump campaign’s research into vice presidential candidate JD Vance. The journalist who wrote the newsletter, Ken Klippenstein, has been suspended from the platform. Searches for posts containing a link to the newsletter turn up nothing.
The document allegedly comes from an Iranian hack of the Trump campaign. Though other news outlets have received information from the hack, they declined to publish. Klippenstein says in his newsletter that a source called “Robert,” with an AOL email address, offered him the document. Contained in it are what appear to be Vance’s full name, addresses, and part of his social security number.
If he’s decided to block reporting on it, it’s real.
So much free speech! I can feel the free speech from here!

Only one kind of agenda is allowed in Elon’s safe space!
Oh no, Vance’s full name? How dare he? Now everyone will know his middle name is “Mertrude,” which is weird because he changed his own name, so he picked that, spelled it that way, and then thought his middle initial was “D.”
And of course none of that’s true. But if it were true, on the list of 100 weirdest Vance facts, it wouldn’t even rank.
This timeline is so fucking stupid I wasn’t immediately discounting the “Mertrude” claim because… well this timeline is fucking stupid.
Yeah, when we’re seeing shit like this? You’re not wrong.
Fake news, the JD stands for Jorkin DePeanus
Ok, that made me chuckle.
lol free speech my ass.
Oh, well, it’s a good thing that it’s the 1920s and there’s no internet, otherwise he’d be in trouble!
Too late, Elon. It’s out there.
wtf is a hacked document?
