#Trinidad & #Tobago Government sought information about Twitter account in January-June 2014

Twitter has posted its latest Twitter Transparency Report for the period of January 1 to June 30 2014. The Transparency Report documents three types of requests to Twitter:

  • Information Requests – government requests for account information of a Twitter account
  • Removal Requests – government requests to remove content from Twitter
  • Copyright notices – copyright notices alleging copyright infringement as per the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”)

The Twitter Transparency Report also documents how Twitter handled these requests.

The Government of Trinidad and Tobago filed an  emergency disclosure request for a Twitter user’s account information during the January-June 2014 period. Twitter didn’t produce the information requested, according to https://transparency.twitter.com/country/tt
