Univision-owned Splinter News is facing backlash after it published the personal cellphone number of President Trump’s senior policy adviser, Stephen Miller.

The article, titled, “Here’s Stephen Miller’s Cell Phone Number, If You Need It,” credited Mr. Miller as being “the most effective driving force behind” Mr. Trump’s zero-tolerance policy at the border.

“The Trump administration’s policy of separating immigrant children from their families has been credited primarily to the strenuous efforts of White House adviser Stephen Miller. Perhaps you would like to call him about it,” the Splinter report said.

The publishing of Mr. Miller personal information online, a controversial practice called “doxing,” resulted in Splinter News and staffers who shared the article being temporarily suspended from Twitter.

“It’s against our policies to share other people’s private information on Twitter, including directly linking to that information,” Twitter said in a statement, The Daily Beast reported. “Today, we temporarily blocked accounts that shared this information until they deleted the Tweet that violated our rules.”

The social media site later announced it was no longer blocking accounts because Mr. Miller’s cell was “no longer a valid number.”

“At this time, the number that was previously being shared is no longer a valid number and, as such, we are no longer enforcing our policy against individuals tweeting or linking to that information,” Twitter said.

Splinter slammed Twitter by highlighting a number of still-active tweets that would appear to violate the company’s rules.

“Twitter remains a place where users are regularly subjected to harassment based on their sexuality, religion, race, or having a wrong opinion that day,” wrote Splinter editor Katherine Krueger. “For the moment, it seems Jack Dorsey is much more interested in placating conservative users, who’ve long claimed the platform is biased against them.”
