Special Counsel Jack Smith sought and obtained a search warrant for Donald Trump’s Twitter account, @realdonaldtrump, on Jan. 17, 2023, according to newly revealed court documents.

Twitter’s initial resistance to complying with the warrant resulted in a federal judge holding the company in contempt and levying a $350,000 fine. A federal court of appeals upheld that fine last month in a sealed opinion. But on Wednesday, the court unsealed a redacted version of that opinion, revealing the secret battle for the first time.

So the court Document was about Twitter complying with the search warrant, they did but they did so late and incomplete and were found to be in contempt of court. They were fined $350,000. This document is the Appeals Court affirming the original court. Twitter was trying to say they had objections to the "disclosure" issue with the original warrant and they shouldn't have been in contempt until that was resolved.

The most interesting thing I see so far is this PUBLIC COPY - SEALED INFORMATION DELETED

so some information is still sealed AND, they didn't just redact it, they created a copy without it.

EDIT: there is some redacted info in there and I think every case is when they cite another document.

This is the "disclosure" issue.

The legal issue Twitter raises is whether its First Amendment rights are violated by a § 2705(6) nondisclosure order that prohibits Twitter from revealing the existence or contents of a search warrant to its customer, who is a suspect in a criminal investigation.

Basically Twitter wanted to notify Trump a search warrant had been issued for this account.

The court rejected this because other cases service providers have been prevented from disclosure on a temporary basis and the courts have previously said

we have considered an order of less than two years' duration "too short" to be fully litigated before it expires.

That seems to mean if the gov issues a search warrant to Twitter or greatawakening.wi the service provider may not be able to tell you for two years.
