Twitter Fights US Court For WikiLeaks Details 268
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."

"The investigators left 1,700 names on the list unchecked, defense officials have told Grassley."
They dont waste time looking.
As for this, welcome to the honeypot. Everybody who wanted to help "freedoms" is now on a list.
Did the other web 2.0 sites roll over like the CC and online retailers?
If so, will they go down the lists, name by name?

One theory is that US government will eventually decide to mend it's reputation by eliminating anyone who has a bad opinion about them.

Bad analogy. Nothing wrong with masturbation. It shouldn't even be embarrasing. And if anything is leaked during the process, it would be a sign of health, not illness.
