Reuters reports that Twitter has sued to stop the U.S. government's effort to learn the identity of a Twitter user who has criticized that government's policies.

"The rights of free speech afforded Twitter's users and Twitter itself under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution include a right to disseminate such anonymous or pseudonymous political speech," Twitter said in the lawsuit.

      I know, right? The world is full of sheeple who refuse to wake up.
      Its probably easier that way. The knowledge of conspiracy is a hairy burden, my friend.
      It is a weight I willingly shoulder for my fellow man though.
      Keep fighting the good fight, comrade!
