Collusion doesn't require coercion. In fact that's what the tweet thread refers to at the beginning. It is most likely out of political partisanship.

Its partisan to remove dick-pics[1]? You really all have lost the plot if you align yourself to the right over this nothing burger of a story.

[1] The tweets referenced by the biden team were Hunter Biden dick pics, you can check yourself in the Wayback Machine

It is because Twitter does not typically remove pornography. Infamously, Twitter did not even remove reported CSAM until after Musk purchased the company and fired the director of Trust and Safety.

Twitter doesn't delete leaked pornography?!

Uh yeah sorry but nude photos posted without the subject’s consent is definitely and clearly against Twitter TOS. And the law!

Do you have citations for either of those claims?

Twitter definitely removed pornography which wasn’t labeled or which was posted without the consent of the people involved.

As for CSAM, whoever told you that is blatantly lying to you. There are annual reports showing thousands of reports to NCMEC and accounts getting banned - here’s last year:

Source on this?

Anecdotally, the reaction of everyone I know working in law enforcement to the Musk purchase and subsequent layoffs was "this is going to make it infinitely more difficult to get CSAM taken down from Twitter".

Yeah, that’s gonna need a reputable citation.

If someone posts revenge porn then Twitter won't take it down if asked? That seems like it's opening itself up to a lot of lawsuits.

Would be pretty crazy if they didn't! That's exactly how Gawker got sued out of existence, as I suspect everyone here remembers.

Its partisan to censor the laptop story.
