It was a nothing burger because Twitter didn't blindly do everything they were asked to do, they rejected a bunch of the government requests. It's not weird for law enforcement to notify a platform of something suspicious they found on the platform.

The Twitter Files also conveniently omitted that Twitter also got requests from the Trump campaign and accepted some of them.

It got requests from both the Trump administration and the Biden campaign. Joe Biden was not President in 2020. Donald Trump was still running the government that was "censoring" social media.

I don't know why this never comes up when people talk about the Twitter Files. .
