Thanks. Again, what I claimed was that twitter performed actions at the the request of people affiliated with political parties/campaigns. I didn't make any claims about the content of the tweets or their legality/status under twitter's terms and conditions.

So if these weren't reported by a member of the Biden campaign and instead reported by Hunter Biden himself - would there be an issue?

Other than timeliness, would you expect any different resolution if they were reported by a private citizen unrelated to the Biden campaign?

If the answer to both of these question is 'no', what is the big deal?

There is an existing flow to report a tweet or account. This sort of backchannel communication is news and good to have documented. It's not about Biden or politics. If you read my comments you'll note that I never referenced the specific political parties involved and in fact the twitter thread says actions were taken on behalf of both parties.
