>Twitter is free, has been free, continues to be free, to ignore or actively reject almost all such requests.

Of course it's free to ignore or actively reject all such requests from an entity like the government. Kind of like how a shop owner is free to ignore requests from the goodfellas that pass by and say "Great shop you got here. It would be a shame if anything happened to it".

So true bud. If only there were 200 years of case law on this exact thing.
Yes, it's against the law, not to mention ...unethical. So it's not happening.
Yes, and we all hope that the Missouri v. Biden case currently before the Supreme Court will add to that body of case law and further restrict government's ability to interfere with social media.
