Very odd that this is branded as cutting off intelligence agencies then - this seems more like they are cutting off another company from the firehose like they did to DataSift when they acquired Ginp. Dataminr didn't provide access to the firehose, iirc, but had a really good event detection product. I had actually heard of them because I heard CNN was a very happy user of the product. EDIT: >The move doesn’t affect Dataminr’s service to financial industry, news media or other clients outside the intelligence community. The Wall Street Journal is involved in a trial of Dataminr’s news product. Read the article, and it seems media companies still have access. I guess Twitter is telling another company who their customers can and can't be.
