AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Right
X is blocking links to an independent journalist’s newsletter that published an alleged dossier used to vet JD Vance that is believed to be part of the Iranian government’s hack of the Trump campaign.
The social media platform formerly known as Twitter — now owned by billionaire Elon Musk — also suspended Ken Klippenstein, the journalist behind the newsletter.
Now, when users enter the link to the newsletter in X’s search bar, an error flag tells them to “try searching for something else.”
