Welcome to Stalin's America

A US judge ordered Twitter to hand over data of three users in contact with the controversial website WikiLeaks, rejecting arguments the move violated freedom of speech and privacy.

President Barack Obama's administration obtained a court order last year seeking information from the Twitter accounts as it considers action against WikiLeaks.

Magistrate Judge Theresa Buchanan, based in the Washington suburb of Alexandria, Virginia, rejected the argument made by the three Twitter users' that the order would have a "chilling effect" on freedom of speech.

"The Twitter order does not seek to control or direct the content of petitioners' speech or association," she wrote.

  Raw Story

So, as long as they don’t try to tell you what to say, they can take your information. No, that won’t chill anybody’s desire to say something, will it?

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
