Two of those, "transparency" and "open data access" are demands from those who would subsequently use that information and access to inform and enforce censorship.


Based on what information?


That sounds like quite the claim, do you have any evidence to support it?

Personally, I'd like to know who is trying to steer the conversation, in light of psyop campaigns and hybrid warfare against our democracy.

I'd also like researchers to be able to examine how a large public forum is run.

Again, transparency is the name of the game.

What use is that information to governments, if not to guide their censorship efforts? It's a setup for labelling your opposition as "hybrid warfare" combatants, not because they picked up a gun but rather because they're saying things you think shouldn't be said.


The information isn't made available to governments, it's made available to the people.

What X is scared of is showing that @AlabamaMAGALady and @DeutscherPatriot are based in St. Petersburg.

Again, there is no censorship. Just a transparency requirement.
