Of most concern to me as someone who works in cyber is the fact that the Center for Information Security was the middle-man who took the request from the SoS office and forwarded to Twitter for action.

CIS is a non-profit who's mission is to "make the connected world a safer place by developing, validating, and promoting timely best practice solutions that help people, businesses, and governments protect themselves against pervasive cyber threats." Anyone working in cyber or info sec is familiar with their work as they provide guidance on how to protect info systems. I've used their guides for years.

Now why does does a trusted non-profit maintain a mailbox for "misinformation", and what role are they playing in internet censorship? The information security business is supposed to be completely objective. It’s a complete breach of trust. Then again tell that to CrowdStrike.
