The most egregious, was Twitter’s blocking of the Hunter Biden story just before the election. Now, Twitter is at it again. They actually suspended the account of President Trump’s attorney Sydney Powell. Of course, they did this as she smashed through 1 million followers.
Twitter is blocking users from sharing links to lawyer Sidney Powell’s lawsuit relating to widespread voter fraud in the 2020 Presidential election.
A number of users across Twitter have reported being unable to share links to lawyer Sidney Powell’s lawsuit relating to voter fraud in the 2020 Presidential election. When attempting to share the link to the document, users receive a notification stating that the link has been identified as “potentially harmful.”
Twitter’s policy on blocking links states: “At times, Twitter will take action to limit or prevent the spread of URL links to content outside Twitter. This is done by displaying a warning notice when the link is clicked, or by blocking the link so that it can’t be Tweeted at all.”
The platform describes the categories of links it will block:
- Malicious links such as malware and phishing
- Spammy and misdirecting links
- Links that break Twitter rules on such topics as terrorism, child sexual exploitation, illegal goods, hateful conduct, violence, etc.
- Hacked Materials
Twitter also claims it will block links that include “Content that interferes with civic and election integrity.” The example given in this category is: “Misleading information about how to vote or register to vote.” It is not yet clear if Twitter is justifying its censorship of a filed lawsuit based on this policy.
Some users have since tweeted about the situation:

I tried sharing the Powell links but the Twitter Gods said it’s harmful information. First time in human history reading a lawsuit alleging voter fraud is considered harmful.

Powell’s lawsuit makes a number of claims about voter fraud in multiple states, discussing Georgia the lawsuit says:
Mathematical and statistical anomalies rising to the level of impossibilities, as shown by affidavits of multiple witnesses, documentation, and expert testimony evince this scheme across the state of Georgia. Especially egregious conduct arose in Forsyth, Paulding, Cherokee, Hall, and Barrow County. This scheme and artifice to defraud affected tens of thousands of votes in Georgia alone and “rigged” the election in Georgia for Joe Biden.
…
[V]ideo from the State Farm Arena in Fulton County shows that on November 3rd after the polls closed, election workers falsely claimed a water leak required the facility to close. All poll workers and challengers were evacuated for several hours at about 10:00 PM. However, several election workers remained unsupervised and unchallenged working at the computers for the voting tabulation machines until after 1:00 AM.

Powell has made headlines in recent weeks for her brief stint on President Donald Trump's legal team. She appeared alongside Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani at a press conference last week, during which she accused Cuba, Venezuela, the Clinton Foundation, the billionaire George Soros and Antifa of participating in a plot to make votes for Trump disappear.
The attorney has never provided evidence of her claims. Fox News opinion host Tucker Carlson said that when his show reached out to her for proof, she 'got angry and told us to stop contacting her.'
The Trump campaign issued a statement after the press conference that read: 'Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own. She is not a member of the Trump legal team. She is also not a lawyer for the president in his personal capacity.'
Powell vowed to continue launching lawsuits and promised she would provide evidence of massive election fraud, something she referred to as 'releasing the Kraken.'
This week Powell, on her own, filed typo-strewn lawsuits in Georgia and Michigan alleging problems linked to voting machines, forged ballots and poll observers being unable to watch the vote count.

In the Georgia complaint, the word 'district' was incorrectly spelled twice. First, there was an extra c for 'DISTRICCT' and then 'DISTRCOICT.' The Michigan lawsuit also had issues with spelling and spacing. One line read: 'TheTCFCenterwastheonlyfacilitywithinWayneCountyauthorizedtocountthe ballots.'
In the Georgia lawsuit, Powell also listed as a plaintiff Jason Shepherd, a GOP county chairman who says he never agreed to take part in the legal action.

Powell also represented former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was pardoned by Trump on Wednesday afternoon. Flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia during the 2016 transition. But the legal saga was caught up for years as he later withdrew his guilty plea and the Department of Justice moved to dismiss the case.
