It's only censorship if Twitter was being coerced into taking action on the accounts. Conveniently, Taibbi included evidence showing that Twitter made its own independent moderation decisions -- some accounts reported had already been suspended, and others were not acted on after a review.

When a 3-letter agency sends you something you get the cue on the spot. But glad that the FBI agents didn't have to physically threaten the former Twitter guys to censor stuff, we're not in the Soviet 1950s anymore.
