An article by the Daily Dot posted on the Mashable website.
This article discusses a recent criminal case in New York State, in which a subpoena was issued to Twitter seeking information posted on a Twitter account that may substantiate allegations of disorderly conduct during an Occupy Wall Street protest.
The article states, "“New York courts have yet to specifically address whether a criminal defendant has standing to quash a subpoena issued to a third-party online social networking service seeking to obtain the defendant’s user information and postings,” wrote Judge Matthew Sciarrino Jr. in his decision. “Nonetheless, an analogy may be drawn to the bank record cases where courts have consistently held that an individual has no right to challenge a subpoena issued against the third-party bank.”
“Twitter’s license to use the defendant’s tweets means that the tweets the defendant posted were not his,” the judge added." The article provides a link to the judges decision.
