U.S. Government Subpoenaed Twitter History of Foreign Politician in WikiLeaks Investigation
DATELINE ZERO – Glenn Greenwald at Salon.com reports that the U.S. has subpoenaed Icelandic member of parliament and WikiLeaks supporter Birgitta Jónsdóttir’s Twitter history:
Last night, Birgitta Jónsdóttir — a former WikiLeaks volunteer and current member of the Icelandic Parliament — announced (on Twitter) that she had been notified by Twitter that the DOJ had served a Subpoena demanding information “about all my tweets and more since November 1st 2009.” Several news outlets, including The Guardian, wrote about Jónsdóttir’s announcement.
What hasn’t been reported is that the Subpoena served on Twitter — which is actually an Order from a federal court that the DOJ requested — seeks the same information for numerous other individuals currently or formerly associated with WikiLeaks, including Jacob Appelbaum, Rop Gonggrijp, and Julian Assange. It also seeks the same information for Bradley Manning and for WikiLeaks’ Twitter account.
The information demanded by the DOJ is sweeping in scope. …
Klint Finley at Technoocult, commenting on Greenwald’s article, says: “It’s possible other companies like Facebook, Google and Skype were subpoenaed and complied with the requests silently. … See also this post about Douglas Rushkoff’s call to abandon the corporate Internet and the supplemental links I supplied there. I’m tagging further links on the subject of a decentralized Internet with decentralized net.”
