DOJ Wins Access To Wikileaks-Related Twitter Accounts
http://news.cnet.com/8301-31921_3-20042277-281.html
"U.S. Magistrate Judge Theresa Buchanan rejected arguments raised by the
ACLU, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and a host of private
attorneys representing the Twitter account holders, who had asserted
that their privacy was protected by federal law, the First Amendment,
and the Fourth Amendment.
"Buchanan rejected each of the arguments in quick succession, saying
that there was no First Amendment issue because activists "have already
made their Twitter posts and associations publicly available." The
account holders have "no Fourth Amendment privacy interest in their IP
addresses," she said, and federal privacy law did not apply because
prosecutors were not seeking contents of the communications."
