It stems from RIAA testimony reported on in the December article they linked to: https://torrentfreak.com/riaa-twitter-does-nothing-to-stop-the-industrial-scale-piracy-on-its-service-201216/ https://torrentfreak.com/riaa-twitter-does-nothing-to-stop-t.... From that article >over a 10-month period, RIAA had to send notices for nearly 9,000 infringements of that same track – let me repeat that.

The one that auto-deletes static and birdsong. From this article: >“The only reasonable conclusion one can draw from your actions is that Twitter simply does not take copyright piracy seriously,” Senator Tillis wrote in a letter to Jack Dorsey at the time. This quote shows that the senator believes that following the law is evidence that Twitter doesn't take copyright law seriously. Very revealing stuff.
