homeland security: Twitter says its users have a constitutional right to disseminate such anonymous and pseudonymous political speech, according to Brandon Sun. The account in question is ALT uscis, a reference to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office. The company filed a lawsuit against the federal Department of Homeland Security and its Customs and Border Protection office, charging that their efforts to unmask the people behind the account violated the First Amendment. The account described its users to the Associated Press in February as employees and former employees of the agency. DHS likewise declined to comment. Twitter declined to comment beyond the lawsuit.
