Government Account: Government and Twitter Scandal

government account: The government withdrew the demand a day after Twitter sued, according to Hamilton Spectator. It was obvious from the start that the government had no legal grounds to make the demand. A rogue government account that criticizes President Donald Trump's policies anonymously was in danger last week of being unmasked after the Department of Homeland Security issued a summons demanding the social media company turn over its users' identities. Even one top Trump aide with his own Twitter scandal, Dan Scavino, argues that federal employees have a right to free speech on their own time, using their own accounts and equipment. Users posting to ALT uscis, the account targeted by the DHS summons, have critiqued the government's immigration policies and revealed issues within the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office. Since Trump's inauguration, dozens of Twitter accounts have sprung up claiming to be run by current and former federal employees of different agencies, including alt labour and RogueEPAstaff.
