Twitter's Jack Dorsey calls it a 'total mistake' that New York Post got blocked over Hunter report

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said Thursday it was a 'total mistake' for The New York Post to be locked out of its Twitter account for tweets sharing the newspaper's report on Hunter Biden's emails.

'We made a total mistake with the New York Post, we corrected that within 24 hours,' Dorsey told House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, who had asked about that example.

Scalise had probed the Twitter boss on The New York Post's treatment, versus that of The Washington Post, which had to run a correction recently on a report of a conversation between former President Donald Trump and a top Georgia election official.

The Louisiana Republican complained that The Washington Post's tweets about the story remained, after The New York Post had been punished.

Dorsey also said that Twitter didn't 'block' The New York Post's account for two weeks, instead the newspaper was locked out because editors refused to delete the tweet in question.

Dorsey said Twitter's main concerns are 'manipulated media, public health and civic integrity,' which might explain why The Washington Post's tweets remain.

In mid-October, The New York Post published a blockbuster report based on Hunter Biden's emails that were purportedly found on a hard-drive of a computer left at a Delaware repair shop.
