Twitter challenges secret FBI subpoena publicly

Recently, Twitter was successful in challenging the Federal Bureau of Investigation, better known as the F.B.I., after an alleged attempt by the FBI to obtain confidential and private information about the Twitter accounts associated with WikiLeaks.

In recent news, WikiLeaks has hit headlines for it’s uncensored approach to coverage of secret or private data leaks regarding important United States classified information. This included “Cablegate” of 2010 – the release of thousands of documents regarding the US stance on worldwide diplomacy.

The FBI has likely probed for information from other social media networks such as Google and Facebook, who were apparently more willing to co-operate with these hush-hush government subpoenas than Twitter has been. How do you feel about the government probing your Facebook or Twitter login account?
