First they came for the Twitter accounts and I said nothing, because I do not Tweet.

Twitter has to provide the U.S. Department of Justice with all account information for three users who allegedly support WikiLeaks, a federal judge ordered on Wednesday.

U.S. District Judge Liam O’Grady denied a motion to suspend previous orders that would allow the DOJ access to the Twitter account information of three people who are suspected of having ties to WikiLeaks.

The account information for Jacob Appelbaum, a computer security researcher, Birgitta Jonsdottir, a member of Iceland’s Parliament and Dutch activist Rop Gonggrijp will be used in the investigation into WikiLeaks and its leader, Julian Assange.

The information the Department of Justice requested is extensive as Salon reported: “It includes all mailing addresses and billing information known for the user, all connection records and session times, all IP addresses used to access Twitter, all known email accounts, as well as the ‘means and source of payment,’ including banking records and credit cards.” The DOJ wants all the above information beginning with Nov. 1, 2009 to the present date, according to the report.

1. Thorough, but narrow.

Extensive information on three people males me less uncomfortable than less information on thousands.

2. They cannot directly shut down their enemies so they're going after the methods of communication

instead. Such as this week's eviction and arrest of the globalrevolution livestream team.
