The Right Scoop: TWITTER FILES: Here’s exactly WHY a federal judge blocked Biden admin from colluding with Big Tech
A federal judge blocked the Biden administration's collusion with Big Tech to censor people. The judge's injunction was issued after the FBI got three Twitter accounts banned on a whim.

Twitter made a "tooling" error and the ordered suspensions never took place, leading to the FBI questioning why the accounts were still up. Twitter quickly moved to fix the glitch, apologizing for the mistake. One of the suspended accounts came from Canada, showing that Twitter wasn't even sure if they were malign. The sequence raises the question of whether it was a censorship demand or just a polite ask.
