Oh look, a personal attack.

US federal government officials ordered Twitter to censor. They obeyed. This is a serious miscarriage of justice and must result in long prison terms for all responsible.

Let's stick to the content.

Where did you read this? Because in the detailed post I wrote, which you ignored, we saw how TheHill's opinion column author wasn't sure that that was true. So where are you seeing that?

Also nothing we've looked at yet said twitter were censoring, only that they were conducting policy reviews. So please link to that too

When the government is ordering a private company to delete tweets, and that private company responds with "handled" - that's collusion. That's censorship. The government may not censor, nor order others to do so on their behalf.

Everyone: this is a paid poster defending the powerful. Pay no attention, click the "block user" button above.

That's not in any of the documents I saw. I think you're just making that up. What I read about from Taibi was a glorified version of the "report this tweet" button.
