If you post on social networks or micro blogs your posting information into the public domain. You are therefore responsible for what you say and this can be used for/against you. I see no difference between a twitter, a spoken recording or a written statement.
Either way it is nice to see twitter did fight this to some extent
- alttab 14y agoA big win for the Internet is not having to cough up who you are. This proves that e government will hunt you down if you say something they don't like and will violate privacy policies along the way to get it. This could mean anonymous Internet is over.
- latch 14y agoYou make that sound like the government should somehow be bound by Twitter's privacy policy. That's absurd.
- dedward 14y agoPretend it's a real riot-starter you don't like and think about it. The internet changes nothing. It's not a free ticket to anonymity, any more than putting up posters in the middle of the night was. You run the risk of getting caught. Privacy policies are between you and a company, not law. The danger is in widespread digital fishing expeditions by prosecutors - we can't have "turn over everything so-and-so said ever on your service". We need specifics, like everything else... thats' the danger. The internet is not a thing - it's a bunch of cooperating entities running networks all over the world, and a bunch more people running services on top of that. The courts have ALWAYS been able to subpoena information during investigations. Why should digital information be different?
