> X-the social media platform formerly known as Twitter-suspended Ken Klippenstein's account Thursday after the investigative journalist posted an article containing a link to a dossier on Republican U.S. vice presidential candidate JD Vance that allegedly came from an Iranian hack of former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.

An X spokesperson told Zeteo's Justin Baragona that "Ken Klippenstein was temporarily suspended for violating our rules on posting unredacted private personal information, specifically Sen. Vance's physical addresses and the majority of his Social Security number." The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating the Trump campaign's claim of an Iranian hack.

But conservatives will still cry about how *they’re* the ones being censored on social media.

More emails have been published from the leak, these showing that Rasmussen shares its polling data with the Trump campaign in violation of laws https://twitter.com/americanmuck
So interesting that Politico, NYT and the Washington Post didn’t find anything newsworthy in this email data dump they were also sent, yet we got their coverage of risotta recipes in the Hilary email leaks.

No tears shed here. Klippenstein is a mess. He needs more life experience before he gets back into journalism

So where can we read the dossier?

Well yeah, Elon has entirely hitched his wagon to the Trump train.
He’s going to do everything he can, including silencing dissent on Twitter, to ensure Trump has the greatest chance to win.
Meanwhile it’s “controversial” that Zuckerberg recently announced that the Biden administration “pressured” Meta into helping prevent COVID misinformation from circulating on their platform. Talk about double standards.

They had me until it said it contained Vance’s social security number and address.

This Ken Klippenstein is a Russian apologist who thinks the DOJ’s investigation into Russian election tampering is way overblown.
Seems Klippenstein’s release of this dossier may be just an attempt to minimize the outcry over election interference from foreign governments by holding up this one tepid internal report by the Trump campaign as supposed proof that election interference efforts by foreign governments are harmless shenanigans.

Remember when free speech zealot Elon Musk was outraged by Twitter’s censorship…?
Pepperidge Farm Remembers…
Why are nearly 600m people still on this platform?
this is why he bought it.
IF I were on the Twitter replacement, I’d post Ken Klippenstein’s stuff.
