That’s not even true for Twitter. https://transparency.twitter.com/en/reports/removal-requests.html#1.6:2021-jul-dec https://transparency.twitter.com/en/reports/removal-requests...: > Overall, Twitter withheld or otherwise removed some or all of the reported content in response to 51% of global legal demands, down 5% from the previous reporting period.

    The FBI was issuing these sorts of requests. I’d welcome specific evidence to the contrary.
