As of right now NYC prosecutors have asked Twitter to hand over all tweets spanning a 3 month period, emails, and other information from a Twitter
user and OWS protester Malcolm Harris. Malcolm was one of the protesters among the 700 arrested during the Brooklyn bridge incident. But Malcolm, nor
his lawyer, know what it is exactly NYC prosecutors are looking for but he suspects it's from that day on the bridge.

(Reuters) - Prosecutors have subpoenaed the Twitter records of an Occupy Wall Street protester who was arrested in October during a mass protest
on the Brooklyn Bridge.
The January 26 subpoena from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office seeks "user information, including email address," along with three months'
worth of tweets from @destructuremal, the Twitter handle for Malcolm Harris.
Harris, 23, a freelance writer and editor who lives in the New York borough of Brooklyn, said Tuesday that Twitter sent a copy of the subpoena to him
on Monday. He posted it -- where else? -- on Twitter.
Shockingly Twitter is currently refusing to comply with the NYC prosecutors. This surprises me because
Twitter
announced recently they will work with Gov'ts to help censor tweets. So I figured Twitter would be all about handing over any and all information
about Mr. Harris.
Good on you Twitter. Keep up the good fight, and fix that censorship thing.

On a side note, how hard could it possibly be for them see and read his tweets? I don't use Twitter, I've been to the site and checked it out but I
don't follow it, anyway, can't anyone read anyone's tweets or are they private unless you're a follower?
