In 2014, the Twitter company filed a lawsuit after NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden leaked classified documents detailing a US domestic surveillance programme in which the authorities tapped Internet cables, collected phone records and emails and tracked the location of cell phones all over the world.
On 17 April, US District Court Judge Yvonne Rogers dismissed Twitter’s long-pending lawsuit aimed at releasing its Draft Transparency Report to the public, which contains the security demands it receives from the national government.
Yvonne Rogers has also said that the government would not be able to stop Twitter from publishing the data if the company decides to make the information public.
The Twitter spokesperson added that the company is disappointed with the Court’s decision and said that Twitter will continue to fight for transparency.
According to the Politico news outlet, Twitter lawyers could not view the arguments presented by the FBI due to Attorney General Bill Barr’s assertion of the state secrets privilege forbidding the disclosure of the documents.
