UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS CASE No. 1:20-CV-11889-MLW Twitter Censored Users at the Request of the State "Twitter Trusted Partnership Program and the Twitter Partner Support Portal (PSP). In 2017, Cohen and others began formulating and designing the framework for silently violating the free speech rights of US persons by first characterizing speakers as "Influence Operators" (IOs) thereby fabricating a sinister connotation where none exists, as the ideological framework to justify canceling speakers who exercise their right to express their opinion." Elections Influence Operations Playbook for State and Local Officials The National Association of State Election Directors, and the Secretary of State of Massachusetts, are being sued for partnering with Twitter to censor critics of the state. State election officials developed a system to assess the “threat level” of speech critical of them, or any comments that expressed skepticism of election security. Then they struck a deal in which Twitter agreed to delete Tweets, and ban users, at the request of government officials. The court documents make clear that Twitter attempted to insulate the state actors from the censorship, instead operating under the guise that Twitter’s internal moderators had found the content violated its terms. It’s one thing for a private company to trample free speech. But when the government does it, that clearly violates the constitution.
