Twitter Fights US Court For WikiLeaks Details

An anonymous reader writes "Micro-blogging site Twitter is opposing an order from a US court to reveal the account details of supporters of WikiLeaks. Twitter has called on Facebook and Google to reveal whether they also received similar court orders. As part of the US government's investigation into WikiLeaks, a court ordered Twitter, in mid-December, to give details of accounts owned by supporters of the whistle-blower site. Twitter has protested against the subpoena and informed the individuals whose account information has been requested, while raising the possibility that other social networking players have received similar orders."

    Not sure I agree with you there. Seems to me like government is the one who forces me, through the threat of violence, to purchase their substandard "services" through involuntary taxes. Not the people sitting in boardrooms. Apple has never forced me to buy their iPods.
