the FBI is requesting information about the Twitter users that were part of the conversation. What an exceptionally flippant dismissal of what is clearly an overstep. "FBI is requesting information" i.e. the FBI is subpoenaing Twitter about "users that were part of the conversation" -- users who discussed a case on twitter. I feel like your use of the phrase "part of the conversation" -- a phrase often used as euphemism for actual involvement -- is a subtle deception to anyone reading your comment. The totality of their involvement is tweets discussing the case. You go even further by following up claiming it "doesn't seem quite as sensational once you know the backstory" and in the next sentence you mention the alleged crime that they were talking about, not that they were involved in. To me, it feels like your comment is either missing the point that these 5 were simply talking about the case; or you are being willfully deceptive.
