Twitter Sues Homeland Security To Protect Anonymity Of ‘Alt Immigration’ Account
NPR reported a couple of days ago that Twitter is suing the Department of Homeland Security after the agency demanded to know the identity of the person behind the “@ALT_uscis” or “Alt Immigration” Twitter account, one of several “rogue” accounts ostensibly created by anonymous employees of the federal government.
The lawsuit from Twitter alleges that DHS demanded to know the name, login information, phone number, mailing address and IP address of the user behind the account and threatened that failure to comply could lead to court actions.
