> Firstly, Twitter took that down because it violated their long standing policy against doxxing/posting hacked materials, not for any political reason.
That was a BS reason chosen by Twitter. Twitter Files exposed that already. You are late.
> Secondly, Twitter leadership realized very quickly that their policy wasn't really designed for this specific event, and within a day they changed the policy and unblocked the posts that they had blocked.
Yeah you clearly haven't read the Twitter Files. It shows.
> And now it's 2 years later and uninformed people still bullshit here about election interference and this being a first amendment issue.
Because it clearly was and now even Zuckerberg has come out admitting that it was interference.
> (Twitter is a private company and can block whatever posts it likes)
Sure. But if FBI is involved, it does not become a Twitter issue alone but it becomes Government censorship through a private company. That is election interference and a first amendment violation.
