A new release of internal Twitter correspondence details the relationship between the social media company and government agencies, including how the U.S. government "demanded" that the social media giant suspend nearly 250,000 accounts. 

"US govt agency demanded suspension of 250K accounts, including journalists and Canadian officials!" Elon Musk replied to journalist Matt Taibbi's Twitter thread on Tuesday evening.

More extensive than I previously believed.
Every one involved should be held to task:
18 U.S.C. § 241 prohibits all kinds of interferences with the rights of an individual that has been secured by the individual through the United States Constitution or through any other laws of the United States, and that includes actual interference and conspiracy to do so.

Doing so under color of law or in defiance of oaths to defend the US Constitution makes the offences even more egregious.
