Twitter Files Supplemental: More Adam Schiff Ban Requests, and "Deamplification" (thread, 13 January 2023)
Twitter also refused requests for bans of content about Schiff and his staff
Ten-post thread. It says staff of Representative Adam Schiff, then chair of the House Intelligence Committee, and the Democratic National Committee asked Twitter to remove a doctored parody image of Joe Biden that Donald Trump had retweeted, that Twitter's Trust and Safety chief refused, and that Twitter also refused requests to suppress all search results about committee staffers. It reproduces a Schiff office message thanking Twitter for 'deamplification' while asking that it not hinder law enforcement searches.

- Note
- Reported: internal Twitter documents as selected, screenshotted and described by the thread's author after Twitter's owner gave the writers access; no complete archive is public and the one X capture opened (Part 1) rendered as an empty shell in the Wayback Machine, so the readable copy is the Thread Reader capture linked under archive (the posts themselves were not re-opened on X). The primary documents that would replace it are the underlying emails and Slack messages, which a court, Twitter or a regulator has not produced in full.
