    Kind of amusing to see the "what about Trumps taxes" replies.
    I didn't know Stephen was the bot operator type.

    I have a low opinion of Turley but I wouldn't spend money on bots.
    Complaining about Trump's taxes just adds to the noise in that context.

    More to the point, even without following the link, the URL refers to a "censorship system" which doesn't apply in this case. A legitimate
    whatabout is Trump's team also made requests to twitter that were
    similarly "handled."

    Figures you'd be a bot buyer...

    Complete BS.

    No where near as many and more often about being censored rather than
    asking someone be censored unless it was pointing out the double standard.

    Frankly, I don't think anyone in gov't should be complaining and trying to curtail anyone rights in any way when they've committed no crime.
    That's a crime IMO.

    Complete BS.

    Requests to a private party to review terms of service complaints are
    not censorship.

    A legitimate whatabout is Trump's team also made requests to
    twitter that were similarly "handled."

    No where near as many and more often about being censored rather
    than asking someone be censored unless it was pointing out the double standard.

    So there's a threshold? A number that absolves Trump but condemns the
    FBI? Where does Taibbi or Weiss give the figures of how many requests
    were handled? From what I saw, twitter only acted on half of the
    requests but without actual figures, who knows?

    Frankly, I don't think anyone in gov't should be complaining and
    trying to curtail anyone rights in any way when they've committed no
    crime. That's a crime IMO.

    Protecting the US from foreign actors who don't have those rights is not
    a crime. Also not a crime, asking someone to observe their own terms of service.

    Say, isn't that the opposite of what I just told you? Time to check that
    input module.
