Twitter sues the FBI and the Justice Department

The company wants to be able to release more information about government surveillance of its users. Twitter, based in San Francisco, filed the lawsuit in a California federal court. It contends it has the right to publish more detailed information about the scope and frequency of government information requests. In January, Justice negotiated a compromise with Google, Facebook, Yahoo and LinkedIn. That agreement lets the companies reveal how often the government requests information on users.
