Nor was Dorsey's Twitter?

That very much was a part of the government. They were receiving orders directly from the White House, same as now, I suppose.

  They received requests, many of which were denied. Not part of the government.

    Not according to Twitter files. Twitter under Dorsey and later under Agarwal was quite enthusiastic and eager about pushing the government narratives and suppressing dissent. They even deplatformed a sitting president. I get that you probably liked it back then, but let's be real here. Twitter neither was in a position to deny any requests, nor did it have any inclination to do so.

      According to Dorsey, they didn't want to block Trump, they caved in to advertiser requests. "But [the Trump ban] was right for the business, because if we didn’t act on it, we probably would have lost all our advertisers, which would affect the business and stock price. But it was wrong for the world and the internet, given the fact that we could do it in the first place. No one should be able to do that." https://www.piratewires.com/p/interview-with-jack-dorsey-mike-solana https://www.piratewires.com/p/interview-with-jack-dorsey-mik...

        By "government" at that time I mean the DNC / DeepState that twitter was entirely subservient to before Musk bought it.

        The DNC, a private organization, is the government, but the sitting POTUS is not… Curious!

      You know that the "Twitter Files" were carefully curated to to craft a certain narrative, right?
