I think we’ve all been wondering how Wikileaks will be prosecuted for disclosing classified documents last year. This Washington Post article describes the role social media plays in the case and how the defendants’ lawyers argued that releasing personal data from Twitter accounts violates the First and Fourth (protection against warrantless searches) Amendments.
The article really got me thinking about the government’s right and ability to access data in today’s 2.0 world and how social networking sites determine whether or not they will remain bipartisan on issues like this.
