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.
