Twitter Reluctantly Coughs Up Occupy Protester's Data

Twitter Reluctantly Coughs Up Occupy Protester's Data - Twitter on Friday reluctantly complied with a judge's order to divulge the tweets and account information allegedly connected to an Occupy protester. The case was being closely watched as the authorities increasingly monitor and move to access material posted on social networks. The development comes two months after the micro-blogging site reported that, for the first six months of the year, the authorities sought information on Twitter user accounts 679 times.
