The suspension comes after the account allegedly linked to the shocking New York Post article, one which has been totally censored from the social media platform as of October 14, with users having their accounts locked for sharing or referencing it.
The New York Post's op-ed Editor, Sohrab Ahmari, was also temporarily suspended yesterday in the purge. He has since regained access to his account.

The New York Post's official twitter was also censored, with the original tweet about the Hunter Biden revelations being deleted, and the platform later adding a filter before accessing other New York Post stories, warning users of the link containing potentially dangerous content.

On Wednesday, the Post published leaked emails obtained from a laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden containing correspondence between the younger Biden and a top executive at Burisma.
Joe Biden, who has repeatedly denied having any knowledge of the his son’s business dealings, is shown to have been introduced to and met with executives at the Ukrainian company.
The trove of data in the laptop also included compromising photographs of Hunter Biden appearing to pose with drug paraphernalia.
