No judge would ever risk signing.

The FBI or CIA or any other U.S government agency, requesting the removal of a lawful communication by a U.S citizen, would be in potential breach of 1st Amendment rights under the Constitution.

So any Judge signing a court order to remove anything on Twitter at the request of the FBI/CIA, would be acting unconstitutionally and could be sued.

Twitter can remove anything if wants as it’s not a governmental entity, but Twitter removing stuff, in concert with a government agency, this is violation of 1st Amendment rights, so long as the communication is lawful.

Because it’s not your rights being violated, but Constitutional rights in the U.S are sacrosanct. A U.S citizen, has the most freedoms in the world when it comes to speech.
