Twitter Blocks Users From Sharing Links to ‘BlueLeaks’ Data Dump

Twitter will crack down on tweets that link to a 269GB leak of police files

The social media site this week permanently suspended the Twitter account of Distributed Denial of Secrets, a group of journalists and activists that obtained the 269GB trove of files and published it under the name “BlueLeaks.” 

According to a Twitter spokesperson, the company decided to take action because Distributed Denial of Secrets has admitted the 269GB of information came from the hacktivist group Anonymous. Last year, Twitter introduced a rule that banned users from sharing hacked materials on the social media service. “You can discuss a hack that has taken place,” the policy says. But posting the hacked content in an image, text, or via a link is a violation.
