I don't understand why Twitter chose to remove it for "hacked materials" rather than saying it was fake. They haven't removed Wikileaks or the Panama Papers or all kinds of other hacked materials.

It makes it seem extremely political, to the point that I think they are trying to help Trump win. Which I guess makes sense, I could see how Trump being president is good for business for them.

Probably because they have no proof it is fake.

One of Biden's campaign surragates, Jenna Arnold, said "I don’t think anybody is saying they are inauthentic or not." It seems like the Biden campaign is not even denying it.

If they removed this for being fake and it turns out to be accurate they would be called bias for not removing fake things about Trump.
