Twitter is used by world leaders, political activists, journalists, and millions of other people to disseminate information and ideas, engage in public debate about matters of national and global concern, seek justice, and reveal government corruption and other wrongdoing. “The ability of Twitter users to share information depends in part on their ability to do to do so without undue fear of government surveillance,” the main document states.Share this story
