Will engage openly and constructively on govt’s content withholding requests: Twitter

Days after it blocked dozens of posts allegedly critical of COVID-19 crisis handling, Twitter has said it will consider more requests from the government to withhold content and will continue to engage “openly and constructively” with it. “We notify the account holder directly so they’re aware that we’ve received a legal order pertaining to the account by sending a message to the email address associated with the account(s), if available, unless we are prohibited from doing so,” Twitter said in a blog on Thursday.
