I guess the system could just close twitter in the country until elections end as an emergency procedure alleging election manipulation. After the elections ended, we can argue whatever he wants.

Yeah i think if he just flat out refuses the order, the legal proceedings wont take very long. There is nothing to discuss so it can just be blocked immediately.
