Sanctions were applied after the social media platform delayed compliance with a federal search warrant that required Twitter to hand over Donald Trump’s Twitter data without telling the former president about the warrant for 180 days.

    It was 3 days. They were probably waiting for someone to get around to collating it. You act like that should be easy.

      The warrant was first served in January. They could have gotten it done in time but dragged their feet until the last second.

      A company that specializes in sorting data should have an easy time with a request like this.

        Yeah that tells me you don’t know shit about what you’re talking about. “A company that specializes in sorting data” is the most nonsense “I want to look like I know what I’m talking about” bullshit ever lol

          Handing over data from one account with 6+ months warning is usually pretty easy actually.

          The fact that it took a fine doubling every day to get them to comply is the more interesting fact.

          It isn’t 3 days, as you imply. It’s multiple quarters.

      It takes less than 30 minutes to write that sql query, no shot someone needs to spend 3 days “collating”.
