Twitter is a private company and they can do whatever they want. That's always been the case and is still the case. Elon's doing what he wants with the company he owns and that's fine.
I also didn't see anything about the government involvement in Bari's story. Why is it news that twitter filters things? They can "censor" whoever they want.
If anything, these news dumps from twitter prove that twitter did what it did on its own, and without government involvement. Well, except when President Trump himself asked them to remove tweets. That should make everyone feel better about this.
