The contents of the link are so far from what you describe them as it's hard to believe that you're arguing in good faith.

Put another way, what is the government even bringing to the table? Clearly Twitter had the tools to attempt to sway the election on their own, so why do they need to meet with <insert 3 letter agency>?

Why would a three letter agency need to meet with a head of safety at twitter? If they need an IP address from someone illegal, I'm sure there's someone down the chain answering to law enforcment.

Twitter has a lot to gain by being friendly with the government... regulations can pass or not-pass, government grants can be given, etc.

You’re speculating based on nothing concrete, don’t be surprised if people label you as a propagandist. Taibbi isn't really a bastion of truth and credibility, he analyze almost everything through a conspiracy lens without providing good justifications other than “look at the map of disconnected dots I drew, it’s all clear now!”.
