Twitter's stated policy says that posting private information is against their terms of service and subject to account suspension.

A close friend of mine is being harassed over politics by a twitter user who has posted his home address, a photo of his child, and his child's name. Twitter's staff has been made aware and instead of following their policy, taking down the tweets and suspending the account, they demanded more personal information from the victim and have so far left the posts up, public, and unaddressed.

The only difference between my friend and others who I've seen able to have twitter accounts suspended with a single complaint is his political views. It is my belief that twitter staff is condoning the harassment and the public post of a child's photo, address, and name only because they disapprove of the victim's political views.
