It literally does make that claim.

"When needed, the government can intervene with the Twitter algorithm," Tey wrote. "In fact, @TwitterEng (Twitter Engineering) even has a class for it – 'GovernmentRequested.'"

Disagree. That tweet isn't alleging that government controls the algorithm. "Intervene" isn't the same word or meaning.
