Twitter Files Transparency Lawsuit Against U.S. Government

Twitter’s big into transparency and freedom of speech. In July they published their fifth transparency report, a bi-annual update which provides insights into global government and copyright requests they receive, and they’ve long pushed the mantra that the “tweets must flow” (although they’re not exactly consistent here).

In their last transparency report Twitter noted that they were “prohibited from reporting on the actual scope of surveillance of Twitter users by the U.S. government”, and that their ability to speak freely was being restricted.
