"It was a revelation when @ShellenbergerMD found that Twitter had been paid over $3 million by the feds. Based on how many content requests they appear to have fulfilled for the FBI, it now looks like they were severely underpaid."

I don't know how any of this can be legal. If it is legal, we have fucked up somewhere along the way because I don't know how you can interpret this as anything other than infringement on the First Amendment.
