Facebook is sweating, or it seems.. Apparently the intrusion of Moms and Grandmoms on the social media platform, spreading photos of their dogs and meals, has caused a revolt: Teens are abandoned Facebook to Tweet. Hence, Zuckerberg is becoming more like Twitter..

I have to say after watching the past several hours of news, I can only say that the mainstream media as it was, including cable news, is slowly going to be gone over the next few years. Twitter and 4Chan did more exclusive reporting than the big time press.. Amazing job, being scooped by users of Twitter, late night tin foil radio show tosts, and 4Channers.. Amazing.

The death of the free net, perhaps?

The information demanded by the DOJ is sweeping in scope. It includes all mailing addresses and billing information known for the user, all connection records and session times, all IP addresses used to access Twitter, all known email accounts, as well as the ”means and source of payment,” including banking records and credit cards. A copy of the Subpoena served on Twitter is here.
The Subpoena was court ordered, signed by a federal Magistrate Judge in the Eastern District of Virginia, Theresa Buchanan. It states that there is “reasonable ground to believe that the records or other information sought are relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation.” It was issued on December 14 and ordered sealed — i.e., kept secret from the targets of the Order. On January 5, the same judge ordered the subpoena unsealed at Twitter’s request in order to inform the users of the Subpoena and give them 10 days to object; had Twitter not so requested, it could have turned over this information without the knowledge of its users. A copy of the unsealing order is here.
