@blakereid If the blue check means nothing more than someone has paid for a subscription program, then wouldn't it be hard to claim Twitter is "saying" anything with the badge, let alone putting its own imprimatur on the content of the user's speech? — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
@elizabeth_joh Like the blue checks seem much closer to reddit awards than Twitter's own speech — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
@elizabeth_joh If anything could be considered Twitter's "own speech," wouldn't it be the gray "official" badge and not the paid-for blue checks, which as we've learned are basically an emoji? — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Latest from me: Twitter may already be in violation of its FTC consent agreement, legal experts say. If so, Musk himself could face personal liability that would tie his hands at Twitter and wherever he goes next. Here's a closer look: https://t.co/kqTAq5EQCg — PolitiTweet.org

If you haven't had enough whiplash yet, Twitter has reintroduced the gray checks and "Official" badges amid the wave of impostor accounts, and removed the ability to buy blue check marks: https://t.co/XGGOVSqzw5 — PolitiTweet.org

@JoshData @mmasnick FTC consent decrees, once finalized, carry the force of law. Violations of consent decrees, if proven, are considered violations of the FTC Act. You don't get to un-agree after you've agreed. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the text of the FTC's response. Note the part about the exemption extending "to records from closed cases so long as those records are 'related' to another pending or prospective proceeding." https://t.co/CjU0yUCPHu — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Now, it's not the government's habit to disclose the existence of any particular law enforcement investigation, and the FTC hasn't disclosed one about Twitter. But between this and the FTC's statement today on the Twitter chaos... well, you read between the lines. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
The FTC claimed that it didn't have to hand over the records under FOIA exemption 7(A). 7(A) lets agencies withhold records compiled for law enforcement purposes, but only if revealing those records "could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings." 🤔 — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
These reports, which companies under order are usually required to submit to show they're abiding by their consent decrees, are public record and usually gettable. But in this case, the FTC denied my requests for all five reports. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
A short little story: Earlier this year, after @dotmudge's whistleblower allegations against Twitter became public, I filed a FOIA request to the FTC asking for all of Twitter's third-party compliance reports filed pursuant to its 2011 consent order. — PolitiTweet.org
