The United States government did not seek disclosure of the owner of that account. You are conflating two unrelated issues.



Twitter is no paragon of morality is what I'm trying to say.


Morality as you define it. What's funny is how all the free speech supporters were so quiet when Milo was banned from speaking at CPAC. Nobody has any principles, it's all political.


That wasn't' a violation of his right to free speech, so there's no reason anyone would be vocal about it. CPAC isn't the government.


Neither is Twitter. They are free to ban people who violate the ToS.


You appear confused about what is "moral", as well. Let me give you a hint: defending politically-protected rights to anonymously criticize the government is moral, and defending hate speech is not moral.
