A California court has dismissed part of a lawsuit brought by Twitter that challenges U.S. government restrictions on what it can say about surveillance requests on its users. Twitter sued the government in 2014, alleging that the restrictions infringe its First Amendment right to free speech. The Department of Justice asked the federal district court in Oakland, California, to toss out the lawsuit earlier this year. A judge agreed with the government’s request to shift the case to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, but gave Twitter until May 24 to amend its lawsuit and make a case that surveillance requests are not classified information.”]
