In 11 pages, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers shut down Twitter’s six-year quest to include the government’s surveillance requests in the company’s 2014 Draft Transparency Report. Largely relying on confidential declarations, the ruling maintains the cloaked mechanisms for national security legal process requests on social media and other U.S. communications companies.

Rogers wrote that Twitter’s pursuit of declaratory judgement allowing the social media platform to share information on these inquiries without government approval “merely underscores the tension between the First Amendment and national security and the future impact of the proceedings.”
