Twitter lawyers refute Musk's claims about government coercion -
In a court filing last week, Twitter’s lawyers wrote that there is no evidence of government coercion at Twitter during the 2020 election or in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 riot.
When discussing communications between the FBI and Twitter, lawyers assert that the FBI did not issue demands to take down content, nor did they threaten governmental sanctions if they were not followed. Instead, the lawyers argue, the agency “issued general updates about their efforts to combat foreign interference in the 2020 election.”
“The new materials demonstrate only that Twitter exercised its statutory right—provided to all private actors—to seek reimbursement for time spent processing a government official’s legal requests for information under the Stored Communications Act,” they said. “The payments therefore do not concern content moderation at all—let alone specific requests to take down content.”
