The government is paying Twitter to do work in the same way arduous FOIA requests have to pay the government for work. It's not like you can request millions of paper documents from the government without paying for it.

Is there any proof Twitter actually profited from these requests? It appears they are paying for the work itself. Twitter may have actually lost money if you add the total cost of employee compensation plus the cost of managing this whole infrastructure.
