House Republicans are to grill national security officials over surveillance this week. Read more at straitstimes.com.
WASHINGTON - The US can stop Twitter Inc from releasing details about the government’s demands for user information in national security investigations, a court ruled, in the same week House Republicans are to grill national security officials over surveillance.
Based on classified and unclassified declarations provided by government officials, the court was “able to appreciate why Twitter’s proposed disclosure would risk making our foreign adversaries aware of what is being surveilled and what is not being surveilled – if anything at all,” US Circuit Judge Daniel Bress wrote for the three-judge panel.
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act , described by intelligence officials as a key authority, expires on Dec 31 unless Congress votes to renew it. US agencies use the authority to compel Internet and technology companies to turn over information about suspected foreign terrorists and spies.
Conservatives have also seized on “the Twitter Files,” information released by Twitter’s new owner, Mr Elon Musk, about how the platform decided to handle certain politically freighted news.
