Twitter challenges court order to hand over user data

JMH · May 8, 2012

Twitter is challenging an order from a New York state court requiring it to hand over data on one of its users, who is being prosecuted for disorderly conduct related to an Occupy Wall Street protest on the Brooklyn Bridge last year.

[h=1]Thousands of Twitter passwords exposed[/h]

The exact number of accounts is also unclear, as Twitter says many are duplicates and many had already been suspended.
