Twitter just won their fight against the Trump regime over this Anti-Trump Twitter account
Congrats, Twitter! You won!
Twitter withdrew its lawsuit against the U.S. government Friday, only a day after filing, after the government backed down from its request for information regarding an immigration-focused, anti-Trump account. The Guardian tweeted the news, and the lawsuit has been updated.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
Basically, the U.S. government—and specifically, U.S. Customs and Border Protection—wanted information on the anonymous Twitter account @ALT_uscis, which has been tweeting about immigration issues, and taking a particularly anti-Trump stance.
Twitter, as they've done repeatedly in the past, stood by its mission for user privacy as well as transparency.
Victory for all Twitter users. And the resistance continues.
