Thank you for further validating my point.
Late take a look at your first article claiming the Twitter files show the government violating free speech:
“And not just one agency. Really every conceivable wing of the enforcement agencies of the U.S. government were in some way or another sending moderation requests to Twitter, and in many cases those requests were being fulfilled."
If this is how the person who published these files is characterizing the argument, you’ve already lost it. Requesting that Twitter remove files and Twitter agreeing to remove those files is in no way a violation of free speech. Twitter is a private company free to decide for themselves whether they want to remove content or not. And that means if they decide to work with the government and remove content the government flags then that is their free speech right, and that is exactly what they did according to your own source:
“They had an internal guidance, which I think is very significant, where they said publicly, we will only remove content at our sole discretion. Privately, we will remove any content that's identified by the United States intelligence community as a foreign state actor conducting cyber operations, so if the intel community says we should take it down, we're going to take it down."
That’s their choice because that’s their free speech right to decide how to handle government requests.
But your sources only get better. This is from your second link:
“The big disappointment of the Twitter Files is that their authors seem uninterested in alternate points of view. Across thirteen installments so far, I could not find a single instance in which the reporters tracked down named Twitter officials and asked them for an explanation.”
Exactly, which is why the Twitter files are such a joke. That’s what tends to happen when you care more about making a political splash than you do about painting an accurate picture of reality.
But my favorite gem out of your trove came from your last source:
“The Biden administration and others casually dismiss this troubling arrangement as a rationale to somehow prevent election "misinformation." Yet misinformation is in the eye of the beholder.”
Wow, that’s right up there with “alternative facts” and “Truth isn’t truth”
