The ex-Twitter executive who approved censoring the New York Post's reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop ahead of the 2020 election told Congress the ban should have been lifted sooner.

Attorney Jed Rubenfeld shares how social media users can sue federal agencies who pushed Twitter to censor constitutionally protected speech on 'Kennedy.''s son on the platform ahead of the 2020 presidential election told Congress Wednesday that the extended lock on The New York Post's account over the report was a mistake "in hindsight."

Former chief legal officer of Twitter Vijaya Gadde testifies during a hearing before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee at Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill on February 8, 2023 in Washington, DC. The ex-legal chief said images embedded in the article "looked like they may have been obtained through hacking" at the time.Several other news outlets have since confirmed that the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop were not obtained from hacking nor from a Russian disinformation campaign, as the Biden campaign and others alleged.

"Still," she continued, "over the course of that day, it became clear that Twitter had not fully appreciated the impact of that policy on Free Press and others."
