Why are 3 letter agencies paying Twitter to moderate their own site?
- acdha 4y agoThey aren’t moderating the site. The FBI was reporting things they felt were under the purview of their election security mandate but they weren’t generally pursuing TOS violations. If you’re referring to the administrative costs, those were a separate issue where U.S. law allows payment for the cost of complying with court ordered 2703(d) requests: https://www.techdirt.com/2022/12/20/no-the-fbi-is-not-paying-twitter-to-censor/ https://www.techdirt.com/2022/12/20/no-the-fbi-is-not-paying... Nothing in these dumps suggests that those requests are being abused.
