Twitter sues US justice department

Microblogging social media website, twitter has sued United states Justice Department after disclosure of the deal done between the 2 parties for surveillance purposes. The lawsuite cam against the right of US Justice department to reveal the nature and number of government requests for private user information. The microblogging firm said the action, filed in California, hits back against government gag orders that prevent companies from even disclosing that they have not received any requests for information, which, Twitter's legal team argues, violates constitutional principles of free speech. Web companies in the US have called for transparency of surveillance programmes since a project named Prism was disclosed last year by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. Under prism, US security agencies could make requests for information through a secret court and all arguments and decisions remained undisclosed. Current rules allow companies to disclose only broad ranges and time periods regarding information requests. The framework, agreed between the government and a consortium that included Google Inc and Microsoft Corp, may allow an email company, for example, to say it received between zero and 999 orders within a six-month period.
