U.S. judge blocks Twitter's bid to reveal government surveillance requests
Can we just ponder for a moment that we are being asked to believe that anything Twitter does or does not do could pose an existential threat to the United States?<p>“National security” is a sham now and has been a sham every other time it has ever been used as a blanket override for human rights.  Human rights to free expression are more important than any nation.<p>This is just government spies trying to cover their ass whilst they continue breaking the law.  They've conveniently mixed it in with "but terrorism!" to ensure that they get to continue breaking the law.
