Do you think Trump deserves to know the twitter users who are bashing him?


Twitteer has refused a government demand to reveal who is behind the account that is opposed to President Trump and his immigration policies!!

They filed a federal lawsuit to block the order citing freedom of speech as basis not to turn over records on the account @ALT_uscis

The account claims to be at least one federal immigration employee according to the lawsuit as critics said the order was a "waste of resources" to uncover the anonymous critic and condemn it as a witch hunt!!

US CIS refers to US Citizenship and Immigration Services as it describes itself as "immigratio resistance" as trump has vowed to build a wall along the US Border with Mexico and promised to deport millions back to their home country

Anonymous twitter feeds borrowed the names and logos of a dozen US government agencies to challenge him on climate change and other issues and call themselves "alt" accounts

Twitter prides itself in free speech and anonymity policy as Senator Rob Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon said it was a waste to try and uncover an anonymous critic.

The American Civil Liberties Union is representing the user and said the government request is highly unusual for requesting social media account information that would usually involve only national security or criminal charges

The account has psoted criticism of the administration daily and a game of "bingo" for "right-wing idiots" and that some anti-immigration advocates must have been dropped by their HEADS at birth and mocked Trump for not giving part of his wealth to charities

Paul Alan Levy of the Public Citizen Litigation Group who specialize in online privacy and free speech said Trump doesn't look good coming out of this unmasking based on their demand to know the user behind the account

Do you think Trump deserves to know who is behind that Twitter User? let's see what people think.

Impersonating a government official is a crime so it's technically not a waste of time.

But they aren't impersonating a government official. They actually are government officials, posting under accounts that are clearly marked as not being official government ones. This is precisely the opposite of impersonating a government official.

Not marking it official doesn't magically absolve them from the fact that they're claiming to be officials and the only way to confirm that they are officials is for them to identify themselves.

It's fascist to go after everybody on the internet who claims to be a government employee.

The twitter user is just voicing opinions not using the claim of being a government official to trick people into thinking he has authority

This is the only story you've posted about that actually piques my curiosity (even though, as previously mentioned:)

You're at least a week late on this news.

I mean, the whole thing has already resolved at this point. Government demanded identity, Twitter sued government, government backed off.

It was a nice story and a big win for "internet privacy" (such as it is).

You guys do realize duckbear posted this like a week ago. I mean, there are plenty of reasons to shit on duckbear, from his race baiting to his spelling, but gguirao's thread necromancy isn't really one of them.

While arguably true, "clearly marked as not being official" is not "not marked as official," and definitely does mean they aren't claiming to be officials.

...that's not what fascism is and they're clearly using the claim of being a government employee to bolster their influence.
