RNC files FEC complaint against Twitter, alleging 'in-kind contributions to Biden'

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has filed a federal elections complaint against Twitter, accusing the social media company of making what it describes as "in-kind contributions" to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's campaign.

In a four-page complaint filed Friday, according to Fox News, the RNC accuses Twitter of "using its corporate resources to provide active support for Joe Biden's campaign in violation of federal law."

The committee cited Twitter's decision to block users from posting or sending a link to a New York Post story alleging corruption by the former vice president's son, Hunter Biden, and detailing what critics have said is his illegal overseas business dealings.

An in-kind contribution is a noncash contribution to a campaign for a good or service, which Twitter nor any other social media company has provided the Biden or Trump campaigns.
