Tweets referring to a hack or discussing hacked materials would not be considered a violation of this policy unless materials associated with the hack are directly distributed in the text of a Tweet, in an image shared on Twitter, or in links to hacked content hosted on other websites. In these cases, a violation of this policy would result in a label or warning message, not removal of the Tweet(s) from Twitter.Īdditionally, this policy only addresses instances in which the materials themselves are being distributed - not discussions of or reporting about hacking which refer to but do not embed or link to the materials themselves. In most cases, discussions of or reporting about hacking or hacked materials constitutes indirect distribution (unless the people or groups directly associated with a hack are responsible for the production of the discussions or reporting). As such, we defer to their editorial judgement in publishing these materials, and believe our responsibility is to provide additional context that is useful in providing clarity to the conversation that happens on Twitter. We recognize that source materials obtained through leaks can serve as the basis for important reporting by news agencies meant to hold our institutions and leaders to account. Under this policy, we may label or apply warning messages to Tweets containing or linking to real or synthesized hacked materials where these Tweets do not constitute direct distribution (as defined above). Indirect distribution of real or synthesized hacked materials

As such, we don’t permit the use of our services to directly distribute content obtained through hacking by the people or groups associated with a hack. We do not condone attempts to compromise or infiltrate computer systems.

The use of hacks and hacking to exfiltrate information from private computer systems can be used to manipulate the public conversation, and makes all of us less secure online.
