The backing evidence would be the tweets, wouldn't it? This seems to be on the same level as those YouTube videos where the guys show themselves driving down the highway at 120mph, and eventually get caught because of it.
My opinion of OWS was formed using information from a variety of sources. This case is adding to an already negative perception. Perhaps this one thing wouldn't be enough to form a negative opinion, but the collection of what I've read about OWS has lead to a negative opinion, and this article just continues to enforce it.
Seriously, who thinks a company in the United States isn't going to comply with a subpoena? It's especially silly because a key issue of the protests is excessive wealth, and Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, is worth over $650 million.
I'm actually surprised they are doing this as when the OWS protesters left, the problem literally went away. I'm not defending or criticizing the OWS people, but the government's involvement at this point seems to be like someone who believes they have the duty to punish people who inconvenienced them in some way after the fact. From what I know of human nature, if the government keeps pursuing this, the only way I think the OWS camps will reappear in the spring when the weather warms up. It is a shame if it does because the unemployment was dropping and I believe it was the real cause of the OWS activities.
