Threads is following X’s lead, blocking links to purportedly leaked documents about vice presidential candidate JD Vance.

Meta says the links could come from hacked or leaked sources — and it’s blocking them because of the potential connection. The FBI and other intelligence agencies last month warned that Iran-backed hackers had sought to access information from the Trump campaign.

Purportedly hacked documents have been floating around various media outlets ever since, and while the existence of these documents has been reported, almost all outlets have refused to publish the details due to the potentially illicit way they were obtained.

      It’s about one of the most disliked VP candidates in US history, a dude that wears eyeliner (I guess), doesn’t know how many eggs are in a dozen, and is almost as bland as the last tRump VP pick! You don’t even need to read a couple sentences to know that!! ( ˘ ³˘)

        Yeah, but bland as the last one was, can you imagine Vance doing the right thing and certifying the election after the shit show on Jan 6th?

        I may not be a Pence fan, but he earned a ton of respect from me that day.

          Right, he was shit all other times in his political carrier. But that one time, he did his duty, despite the threats.
