> What was illegal about the NYPost breaking a story about content found on Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop?

Who said it was illegal? The FBI? Twitter? Can you highlight a quote here?

Look at the sort of wording used in the examples in the thread.

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1603857573219819529 - "notifying you of the below accounts which may potentially constitute violations of Twitter's Terms of Service"

They were replying to a comment that the FBI asked twitter to remove illegal content. So to answer your question, the parent post said it was illegal.

Did the fbi ask Twitter to ban the by post story? I haven’t seen that evidence.

That sort of wording makes it worse, IMO.

It's one thing for the FBI to contact twitter to say "hey there's this account that's posting instructions on how to make and plant pipe bombs so you should remove it" but a completely different thing for the FBI to say "hey there's thing thing that violates one your arbitrary terms of service so you should take it down".

Why is the FBI spending time and resources looking for TOS violations for a private company?

Why is the FBI spending time looking into _anything_ that's not illegal, period?

I think it's perfectly fine for any agency to ask any platform to remove content. Keyword: ASK.

You can say no to these requests. Possibly, twitter did.
