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.

Quantity can definitely matter in some instances, and I think free speech is one of them. The more, the better. I don't share your desire to get rid of racist, hateful speech at all costs, even though I dislike it. As I said, I much prefer SN's system and won't be using garbage like Twitter or Facebook.
