The US DOJ, in the the usual US subtle fashion, has demanded "....information 'about all my tweets and more since November 1st 2009.'" - referring to Birgitta Jónsdóttir -- a former WikiLeaks volunteer and current member of the Icelandic Parliament.
The request "includes all mailing addresses and billing information known for the user, all connection records and session times, all IP addresses used to access Twitter, all known email accounts, as well as the 'means and source of payment,' including banking records and credit cards. It seeks all of that information for the period beginning November 1, 2009, through the present."
Frankly a ridiculous amount of information even if her Twitter profile shows 1,126 tweets. I mean, seriously how many times has she logged on to Twitter in a year? As to 'means and source of payment' - I wish I could make money out of my Twitter account.
