Until the tweet was deleted, a Twitter representative informed Business Insider that the tweet was "escalated" to the company's "examination" moderation.


Twitter said Wednesday that rapper and long-shot presidential candidate Kanye West breached the laws of the site by tweeting a magazine editor's phone number.


This afternoon, Kanye posted a screenshot of his phone contact entry for Forbes Chief Content Officer Randall Lane, showing his phone number. He wrote with the photo, "If any of my fans wants to call a white supremacist ... this is the editor of Forbes."
