By this logic, old Twitter interfered with US elections by banning Trump.

Edit: the point about Trump was facetious, but old Twitter actually DID actively interfere in the 2020 election by censoring all sharing (even in DMs!) the New York Post Biden laptop story.

That is correct, both Twitter and Meta actively suppressed the Biden laptop story. That was clear election interference.

> Twitter interfered with US elections by banning Trump.

You mean when Twitter "permanently" banned Trump in January of 2021, after the 2020 election (which he lost)? Which election do you suppose that interfered with?
