WikiLeaks is about to come under renewed scrutiny from the US Justice Department, the court ruling forcing Twitter to hand over details of who accessed the site's account to US Authorities. US Justice Department investigators have won a hard-fought campaign to access the Twitter records of three current and former WikiLeaks associates, rebuffing arguments that the document demand violated the constitutional right to free speech and a prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures.
One of the account users is Icelandic member of parliament and member of 'The Movement' Birgitta Jonsdottir, who said: "With this decision, the court is telling all users of online tools hosted in the US that the US government will have secret access to their data ... it is a huge backward step for the United States' legacy of freedom of expression and the right to privacy."
