Biden wasn't in government at the time, though they did say the Trump admin was working with Twitter on removing stuff as well if that's what you meant.
Taibbi also revealed:
"34.NetChoice lets Twitter know a “blood bath” awaits in upcoming Hill hearings, with members saying it's a "tipping point," complaining tech has “grown so big that they can’t even regulate themselves, so government may need to intervene.”"

And on that one posts a screenshot that it was a "tipping point" for Republicans. Meaning they didn't like a moderation action (a curation decision: part of free speech unless Twitter is a gov't utility or something, the government doesn't tell newspapers who they have to publish in the opinion section) and were going to use government threats of regulation to punish it.
