Think of the scale - they have asked Twitter to make a list of EVERY TIME someone liked or forwarded a tweet from Trump.

Twitter has 500 million tweets PER DAY!!

How many people does DOJ have working on this case to review all this? How much time/resources at Twitter (X) needed to meet this request?

Is this just a punishment directed at Musk/Twitter for their “free speech” stand?

America’s DOJ is PURE - Gestapo / KGB. Truly dangerous.

This is presented as something under consideration, but that does not appear to be correct. This is just the release of a redacted version of a subpoena from quite a while ago.

The judge included a gag order against Twitter blocking them from telling anyone, and Twitter protested and was fined $350,000 dollars for contempt. Twitter appealed on multiple grounds - including their free speech and Trumps potential executive privilege (since the order also includes private and unsent/draft messages), but the Appeals court confirmed her rulings, and Twitter appears to have already turned the data over on what appears to be about 100 million or so users.
