The Government Is After Your Tweets #p2 #tcot


The release of Twitter's first "Transparency Report" comes with the revelation that the microblogging site has received more government requests pertaining to its users' accounts in the first half of 2012 than in the entirety of 2011.

On Monday, a New York City judge ruled that Twitter had to disclose three months' worth of tweets and messages from the account of an Occupy Wall Street protester being investigated after charges of disorderly conduct.

Twitter's biannual reports will tally user information requests, removal requests and copyright takedown notices.
