There’s no right to post CSAM or revenge porn on the internet, so of course the FBI “drives the removal” of that, it is their job.
I’ve done legal compliance for this elsewhere, I have turned down government requests without being persecuted in return, and I know for a fact Twitter’s previous administration was one of the most aggressive at fighting back here and put a great deal of legal effort into it. Example of a more cooperative response would maybe be Amazon Ring.
There’s also no right for foreign intelligence ops to post on US social media so of course the CIA has opinions on that, it’s their job. Etc.
(Current example of this one: a Chinese group is flooding Twitter search for different Chinese city names with ads for sex workers, to block people searching covid news.)
All these things happen under the rule of law, not random emails. If you don’t like it, change the law. I don’t know why you’d want to do that though.
I agree people might’ve said something other than this, but those people are amateurs and are wrong; talk to the EFF if you actually need advice here.
