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

>>leoh+eM
So you think it is totally normal that FBI just helps a company to moderate stuff that is legal but doesn't comply with the company's Terms of Service?

>>Ludwig+ER
Yes. Because 'legal' and 'damaging to society' are different bars and both the FBI and Twitter probably felt that cooperating on that front was better than to let things get out of hand.

The alternative may well have been a dead VP, or worse, so be happy that these channels exist(ed). With that whole department axed we are now in much more dangerous territory. That said I'm pretty sure that Elon Musk knows which side his bread is buttered on and that given an appropriately worded request Twitter will comply just like it did in the past. Or do you think they'll give the FBI the finger now?

The alternative to censoring "Americans, Vote today. Democrats you vote Wednesday 9th." and "If you're not wearing a mask, I'm not counting your vote." is a dead VP? I don’t see a connection.
