New York City Subpoenas Twitter For Occupy Wall Street Protester Data
Mar 12th
U.S. activists who thought Twitter was a secure way to communicate during demonstrations may have another thing coming. The New York District Attorney’s Office has begun sending subpoenas to Twitter seeking data on protesters arrested during the Occupy Wall Street protests last year.
Late last week, activist Jeffrey Rae received one such email, which included a copy of a subpoena from the D.A. requesting data from his Twitter account. The letter, which has been published on Scribd, demands that Twitter hand over a list of data, including all public tweets from Rae’s account between September 15 and October 31, 2011.

Other information sought by the D.A.’s office includes his name, address, records of session times, the length of those sessions, the types of devices used by Rae to access Twitter and any IP addresses from which he connected.
Rae was one of several hundred people who were arrested on October 1 for attempting to march across the Brooklyn Bridge as part of the ongoing Occupy Wall Street protests. Like others, he was charged with blocking traffic, improper use of a roadway and failure to obey orders.
Rae said he plans on challenging the subpoena in court. The District Attorney’s Office did not respond to inquiries from ReadWriteWeb via telephone or email seeking comment.
This is not the first time Twitter has been asked to hand over data on Occupy Wall Street protestors. In February, activist Malcom Harris got a similar notice from Twitter’e legal department via email. Like Rae, Harris had his lawyer file a motion to challenge the subpoena.
“The biggest danger that comes from this subpoena isn’t that it’ll help convict me — I don’t think a judge will have any trouble understanding what happened on the bridge — but that it will produce a chilling effect and discourage people from using Twitter while protesting” Harris wrote for Reuters. “It’s a win-win for prosecutors: Either they use Twitter archives to build cases against demonstrators, or they scare us away from using the platform.”
Storifying Wall Street: Social Media Fuels Unrest
The Occupy Wall Street protests and their offshoots across the country have largely died down since their peak in the late fall, although the movement is still active. Like other unrest throughout the world in the last few years, the anti-Wall Street demonstrations were both documented and partially fueled by social media tools. Just as in other parts of the world, Twitter in particular played an instrumental role in helping activists stay in touch and document what happened on the ground.
Authorities realize this and are hoping to pry some more information out of companies like Twitter. Since the subpoenas in these cases are not legally sealed, Twitter is free to notify its users of the requests, which it has a policy of doing.
Last year, similar requests were made by federal authorities as part of their ongoing case against Wikileaks. Privacy advocates were troubled when Google willingly handed over private Gmail data belonging to Jacob Appelbaum, a Tor developer and known Wikileaks supporter.
About a month later, a U.S. Federal Court ordered Twitter to grant the Justice Department access to private data about three Wikileaks supporters. As in Rae’s case, the requested data included IP addresses and session times. A law called the Stored Communications Act allows authorities to seek data like this without a search warrant, a fact that does not sit well with civil libertarians and digital privacy advocates.

Why Tablets Should Replace TVs in New York City Taxis
Feb 22nd
Hop into the back seat of a cab, and you’re likely to see one of those annoying mini-TV screens/credit card machines playing some banal news cast or commercial. To drown out that background noise, you stare at your smartphone and frantically check email and Facebook. Or maybe you put the phone away and strike up one of those “how’s the weather”-type conversations with the cab driver. What if there was something better than either of these options?
If Square has its way, in tablets might soon replace TVs in New York City taxis. According to reports from CBS New York, Square recently met with the Taxi and Limousine Commission to discuss just that. To test things out, tablets would land in 50 cabs, replacing the current taxi TV system.

Taxi cab riders would be able to do and play whatever they want on the tablets. Think about it: Play Angry Birds, check email and Facebook, tweet about something random that the cab driver is doing, pin stuff to one of your Pinterest boards, book your next plane ticket to London, buy tickets to the movies, check your online bank statement, look at porn…the possibilities are endless. But is that a good thing?
With so much stimuli already available in an urban environment like New York City, the tablet with its endless possibilities could be overly distracting for both a passenger and the cab driver.
What if you, the cab rider, mess up the address of where you’re going? And then when you arrive, you realize that you’re in the wrong location? If you had been paying attention instead of busily tapping away on the in-cab tablet, you might have noticed. But technology is too alluring. We distract ourselves with the shiny glow of all-things-i, so much so that we do not know where we are going.
We distract ourselves with the shiny glow of all-things-i, so much so that we do not know where we are going.
And then there’s the whole “oops I forgot to sign-out” syndrome. Imagine jumping into the cab, only to find the previous user’s email and Facebook accounts open. If you’re a gentlemanlady, or a gentleman, or just a lady, you will promptly sign out off the random person’s accounts. We know that ReadWriteWeb readers are proper chaps – but unfortunately, not everyone can be like us.
One way to avoid the entire “accidentally forgetting to logout” problem: Square could propose some sort of lock on the tablet, which would force the passenger to sign out of every currently running application before exiting the cab. This could even be connected with Square’s payment technology, requiring passengers to sign out and pay before leaving the cab.
Additionally, the solitary experience of playing on a tablet might be a welcome alternative to the annoying noise of in-cab TVs. Manuel, a cab driver of 24 years, told 1010 WINS reporter Glenn Schuck that he really does dislike the noise of those TVs
“This thing is annoying all day long,” Manuel told CBS. “I gotta listen to this thing time and time again. Nobody likes it. None of my passengers like it.”
Tablets in cabs will pose new problems that both drivers and passengers will have to deal with. But for now, anything is better than the annoying drone of commercials and static.
Square is making a formal presentation to the Taxi and Limousine Commission on March 1.
