Twitter has filed a lawsuit against the United States government, seeking to ease restrictions on public disclosures of how often the company receives requests for user data from government agencies.
The suit, which makes Twitter the lone big tech company to continue the disclosure fight with federal agencies, charges that in restricting how often companies like Twitter can inform their members of government requests for personal information, the government is in violation of users’ First Amendment rights.
“We’ve tried to achieve the level of transparency our users deserve without litigation, but to no avail,” said Ben Lee, a vice president for legal matters at Twitter said.
