Learned basically nothing here. So the FBI helped Twitter with content moderation? Who gives a crap.

When people become a sworn officer of the FBI or any other federal LEO officer, they take an oath to protect and defend the US Constitution. When instead of upholding the Constitution, they ask a private company to violate people's first ammendment rights, that is an abuse of power.

It may be within Twitters terms of service to ban people and censor people, and that may be fine for Twitter, but for a sworn officer to use Twitter to censor people - that is an abuse of power.

Of course, the files also show that Twitter personnel acted in bad faith and didn't follow their own ToS.

At no point did the FBI order that tweets be taken down.

Yeah, so it seems looking at the emails, which is the only piece of information we are allowed to see.

However if you think about it for a minute, if the FBI were this bold in written, subpoena-able communication, what do you think the offline conversations looked like?
