Well it sounds like the argument you want to make is that it’s wrong if the people in power request Twitter to enforce their tos on specific tweets? If so, it might interest you to know that the actual administration in charge at the time also requested tweets to be removed for tos violations and those some of those were honored too.

If anything, I believe, in the interest of tranparency, Twitter should make all such requests from governments available to the public moving forward.



I believe that to be a mischaracterization of my statement, I made no comment on the morality/fairness. Just that IMO atleast humans will always inheritly operate with bias. This bias can be unintentionally exploited to enable a form of social coersion. Hunter biden is gonna be seen by people as joe bidens son, because that is a literal fact. Unless the twitter employees were approached anonymously you have to assume that bias to be in play.
