Threads is following X’s lead, blocking links to purportedly leaked documents about vice presidential candidate JD Vance.

Meta says the links could come from hacked or leaked sources — and it’s blocking them because of the potential connection. The FBI and other intelligence agencies last month warned that Iran-backed hackers had sought to access information from the Trump campaign.

Purportedly hacked documents have been floating around various media outlets ever since, and while the existence of these documents has been reported, almost all outlets have refused to publish the details due to the potentially illicit way they were obtained.

        If only it were that interesting. It’s literally all the things we already knew about Vance that made him a liability even though Trump picked him anyway.

        Has it ever been confirmed that he only identifies as being attracted to leather couches? I was of the impression he didn’t have a particular type, but I could be wrong.

      Public knowledge vs. common knowledge. They want to prevent it from being the latter.
