It was not. No threats were made, and Twitter didn’t blindly follow the FBI’s guidance.

The simple truth is the leftist elements that wanted to control the debate were there in the White House and in Twitter’s San Francisco offices. Nobody had to be coerced, they were coördinating.

What was the implication? Twitter had no business in front of the federal government. They were wilfully complying.

That doesn't make it okay. But it's a total retconning of actual history to suggest this was government censorship in any form.

So... what sort of threat was this, that suddenly disappeared when Musk bought it? How credible was the threat if Musk was able to release the Twitter Files without repercussions from the Biden admin?
