In an unprecedented censorship push, Twitter has been suppressing a series of exposés by The New York Post on the dealings of Hunter Biden, son of former Vice President Joe Biden. Not only is the social media firm blocking users from linking to the story, it’s also been locking accounts that attempt to do so. Among them have been White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, the official account of the Trump campaign, The New York Post, and actor James Woods, a major pro-Trump voice on Twitter with some 2.6 million followers.

The articles centered on documents the Post obtained indicating that Hunter Biden negotiated multiple lucrative business arrangements in China and Ukraine where gaining access to or currying favor with his father was at least an implicit part of the deal.
