記得幾年前中國政府要求雅虎提供一位反中國政府人士的身分，海內外反共分子呼天搶地的到美國告狀，要求起訴雅虎洩露用戶機密。美國政府以維基解密洩漏的資料危及美國安全起訴洩密的人，今天美國法官裁決推特網站必須交出其用戶資料。希望拈花時評可以引以為戒了。
A U.S. federal judge has cleared the way for the government to obtain records to the social networking site Twitter, as part of a criminal probe into WikiLeaks.
Judge Theresa Buchanan in Alexandria, Virginia, on Friday rejected the argument by three Twitter users in contact with WikiLeaks that disclosing their records intrudes on their rights to privacy.
Judge Buchanan said they voluntarily made their user information public, once Twitter revealed their posts.
President Barack Obama's administration is requesting all Twitter account information from the trio, including mailing addresses and screen names.
The Justice Department has also asked for Twitter accounts of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, and Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army private accused of funneling classified documents to WikiLeaks.
Some information for this report was provided by AFP.
