A U.S. court has ordered Twitter to hand over details of the accounts of WikiLeaks and several of their supporters as part of a criminal investigation into the release of hundreds of thousands of confidential documents.
The December 14 subpoena obtained by the U.S. Department of Justice and published by online magazine Salon.com on January 7, 2011 said the records sought from the micro-blogging website were “relevant to an ongoing criminal investigation.”
