We have direct evidence of federal pressure from multiple federal sources. We can see from what's been released that Twitter's leadership had concerns when pushing back even in the slightest. To assert that Twitter could have ignored that pressure and the requests that accompanied it without repercussions would be incredibly naive.
- etchalon 4y agoThere's evidence, posted in the threads, of Twitter doing exactly that about numerous specific points. Twitter has, on multiple occasions, fought against states and government interests to unmask its users. So, there exists evidence, and examples, that Twitter could have pushed back without repercussions. There is no evidence of Twitter having suffered for doing so.
