You are confusing public company with the government. To the same extent you can claim that Fox News “violated” the 1st on behave of Republican administration when Trump was POTUS, and CNN “violates” it on behalf of Democratic admins.

It's you who are confusing something. It would be so be if they did it themselves. But they were doing so while being instructed by members of democratic party.

He's so desperate to divert attention away from his dire leadership, he'll try anything.

Twitter was violationg first amendment on behalf of democrats (government is not allowed to impede with free speech). Twitter employees were not even sure what rule to apply to block that information. Nothing to see there... Democrads good, Musk bad :palm:. Not to say your argument is just nonsencical, he gets attention to himself, not diverts it.

Have you looked at some of the posts that were deleted? It's possible to do that with the wayback machine. I did, and am not surprised that they were deleted.

Government pressure has been applied to Twitter to suppress information, so the "It's a private company." argument doesn't hold.

There have also been many posts which are just as bad, yet have not been deleted.

At the time, the Democratic Party were not the govt, so were no different to any other pressure group, & the 1st amendment stuff doesn't apply.
The fact that there was so much internal discussion does not look like anyone "instructed" them.
What Twitter might, quite wisely, have worried about was the possibility of getting sued.
Even in the USA, slander is a thing.

I know there is quite a bit of porn on Twitter. As long as that is not against twitter rules (and i assume it is not, since there is so much of it), and it is posted with consent of the involved persons, they do not need to be removed.

But there is a major difference with the links i found: it is quite obvious that the pictures where not posted by the involved persons themselves. The posters mostly had Chinese looking handles. Those posts should definitely be removed, when they are reported.

Combined with the fact that Biden was not "the government" when the posts were removed, i have no bloody idea why this is such a big topic.
Do you want to tell us that removing involuntary distributed private pictures is something "left" or "woke"? I can't imagine what kind of hell would have broken loose if similar pictures of a Trump family member would have been leaked.
