Court Rules Government Can Collect Private Records of three Twitter Users
Edited on Tue Mar-15-11 09:36 AM by upstatecajun
Late this afternoon, a court ruled that the government can collect the private records of three Twitter users as part of its investigation related to WikiLeaks. The court rejected our efforts to overturn an earlier court order that had required Twitter to turn over the records. We had challenged the order on the grounds that it was overbroad and violated our client's constitutional rights.
