The error of access to Twitter that day occurred in the middle of the controversy over the intervention of the US presidential election. On the 15th, Twitter blocked a Twitter account that posted a link (URL) related to the New York Post’s alleged “Ukraine scandal” involving the son of a Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden (Hunter Biden). On the 14th, the New York Post reported that candidate Biden was introduced to the staff of a Ukrainian energy company and influenced the prosecution’s investigation.

Not only Twitter, but Facebook also posted warnings, questioning the objectivity of the report. In response, Trump posed a blunt question, saying it was the tech platform’s presidential election participation. Kaylee McConaney, a White House spokeswoman, said: “Censorship of political statements will occur in China, North Korea and Iran, not in the United States.”
