Joseph Silverstein

Cornell University student suspended from Twitter for posting publicly available picture of Hunter Biden: On Twitter, Joe Silverstein posted a picture of Hunter Biden in his underwear alongside the caption "Imagine if this was Don Jr. instead of Hunter Biden?" According to Silverstein, Twitter locked him out of his account for violating rules "against sharing privately produced/distributed intimate media of someone without their express consent.” The platform said it would only allow Silverstein back on Twitter after he deleted the tweet. "Twitter informed me that I needed to personally delete the censored tweet to begin a 12-hour countdown to restore functionality or appeal the alleged 'violation.' I decided to appeal," Silverstein wrote in an article for The College Fix. The violating post appears to no longer be visible on Silverstein's Twitter feed; however, he has not made any new tweets since writing about his suspension from Twitter. Silverstein argued in his article that the picture did not constitute "intimate media" because it exposed no less than a speedo would. He also called out Twitter's hypocrisy: "Last year, pictures were circulated which falsely alleged to show Mayor Rudy Guiliani masturbating during a “Borat” prank movie. The photos were not removed, even after such allegations were debunked, and the users who posted them were not suspended."
