Twitter has been sued by a Delaware computer shop owner who says the social media giant effectively labeled him a "hacker" after he was outed as the source of Hunter Biden's laptop.
John Paul Mac, who provided signature evidence that Hunter Biden dropped his laptop off at the Wilmington, Delaware repair shop - subsequently abandoning it, says Twitter's actions forced him to shut down the 'Mac Shop' after Twitter said the New York Post's exposé on the laptop violated its "hacked materials" policy - which they initially disallowed from being shared across the network, according to Variety
"Plaintiff is not a hacker and the information obtained from the computer does not [constitute] hacked materials because Plaintiff lawfully gained access to the computer," reads Mac's complaint, adding that thanks to Twitter citing its "hacked materials" policy, he is now "widely considered a hacker," and has received negative online reviews along with threats against himself and his property - forcing him to ultimately shutter the Mac Shop.
