They did not ask to handle it, the person from Twitter replied "handled" (to another person at Twitter, for the record). It's in the screenshot of the email with the request.
yeah, that’s what i thought i read, thanks.
no outside person asked twitter to “handle” anything. they asked them to review it.
All Twitter users have the power to report tweets.
It seems like at minimum they are bypassing the reported tweet queue.
It feels likely that these report judgements disproportionately had the outcome desired by the requester. If not all requested tweets got taken down/suspended until deleted that will look a lot better than if this channel effectively allowed unchecked censorship.

It's not a hard outcome to achieve. Only report things blatantly violating the ToS and you get that outcome.
i think those semantics matter, which is why i ask.
