Ask HN: Twitter is now blocking cybersec tweets?

3 points by nunobrito ↗ HN
Today was disclosed a vulnerability on the Intel CPUs that anyone on HN can visit: https://gadgets.ndtv.com/laptops/news/intel-visa-sa-00086-exploit-researchers-computer-data-access-2014854

However, when trying to share the link to that page on twitter: that action is blocked. Cannot share the direct link.

I can share any other link. I can even use bit.ly to generate a link and post the new link. However, Twitter is specifically blocking a link from being shared.

This action was recorded on video. Where I try to post the link a few times, and then finally type something else that immediately gets accepted: https://media.giphy.com/media/kiB8T8qeTHCVdUM2oZ/giphy.gif

On twitter I have +9000 followers, a good part related to cybersec.

Is anyone else experiencing a similar censor on their tweets?

Thanks.
