Twitter has blocked the US intelligence agencies from accessing a service that allows the real-time analysis of the content posted online through the social media platform in real time. The social media giant owns about a five percent stake in Dataminr which is the unique service allowed to access the real time stream of public tweets. Twitter is banning third-party companies from selling data to intelligence agencies for surveillance. The Wall Street Journal has reported that the decision was not publicly announced by Twitter, but recently executives at the company confirmed the Twitters intention to stop providing the service to the intelligence agencies.”]
