Donald Trump’s press secretary Kayleigh McEnany had her Twitter account locked for sharing a news story that reflected negatively on Joe Biden, according to the White House.

It came as Donald Trump threatened to remove protections for tech platforms after Twitter and Facebook censored The New York Post’s reporting of emails from Hunter Biden, which allegedly showed he leveraged access to his father in exchange for payments through his position on the board of Ukraine company Burisma.

“Twitter has locked the personal account of White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany for sharing news Democrats don’t like,” the Trump campaign said in a tweet.

Ms McEnany’s account was working again late on Wednesday, with a note on her timeline that “This Tweet is no longer available”.

Twitter announced earlier that it was taking action to block any URLs, links, images or material removing tweets that violated its “Hacked Materials Policy”.

The company followed Facebook, which said it was “reducing its distribution” on the platform until it is fact checked by third-party partners.  

It was announced by Facebook’s communications manager Andy Stone, a former staffer for the presidential campaign for Democrat John Kerry, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Senator Barbara Boxer, and the Democrat House Majority PAC, according to his LinkedIn.

Following the takedowns of the story from the Silicon Valley tech giants, Trump tweeted “REPEAL SECTION 230!!!” in direct reference to the protections they receive as platforms rather than publishers.

“So terrible that Facebook and Twitter took down the story of “Smoking Gun” emails related to Sleepy Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, in the @NYPost. It is only the beginning for them. There is nothing worse than a corrupt politician. REPEAL SECTION 230!!!,” he tweeted.

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act protects tech companies by designating them as platforms rather than publishers, meaning they’re not legally responsible for the content of their users.

The Justice Department is currently reviewing Section 230, and whether companies are acting as publishers by making editorial decisions on what content is allowed on their platforms.
