I have a really hard time believing Twitter would have reacted in similar way if an individual or company initiated the same takedowns


You bet your ass they would if those individuals were celebrity influencers. Or if those companies were advertisers.

Twitter needs such entities to survive. Displeasing then is more existentially threatening than running afoul of the FBI.


As the source of multiple such requests to Twitter I guarantee you that they would.
