> What you're missing is it's ILLEGAL and UNCONSTITUTIONAL to do such a thing in the US by the US government, which is at the heart of the Twitter Files controversy.
You're still missing the point. Read the quoted text. You said once again you haven't seen that Twitter was forced to do anything.
The unconstitutional and illegal bit is the US government merely _asking_ Twitter to censor content.
- satvikpendem 3y agoWe are asking where the US government is asking Twitter to censor content? Or is the point that no one has asked yet but if they did, it'd be illegal?
- stjohnswarts 3y agoCite where it's illegal or unconstitutional. The US government makes deals with private corps all the time, and Twitter is under no legal requirement to publish anything that it doesn't want to.
