But you do pose a valid question. At the end of the day there's nothing that can be done to change any of this. Both democrats and republicans are set in their partisan ways and there's no amount of complaining, voting or anything else I can do to change that."Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Subpoenas require even less PC.
It is easier to get a subject's posts from Facebook, Twitter, and the like than it is to get a search warrant to hack a phone, and the latter is a very common warrant. My agency pulled more than 200 Net-based communication accounts in 2016, and we're not large. Not a single request for a warrant or subpoena was turned down.
A search warrant is not a high bar to get over.Any man can hold his place when the bands play and women throw flowers; it is when the enemy presses close and metal shears through the ranks that one can acertain which are soldiers, and which are not.

That could be construed as anything from trademark and copyright infringement to potentially fraudulent schemes. Adding the word "Alt" to an existing government trademark / agency logo doesn't alter it enough to get around "fair use" laws.
So, it is possible that this group is being investigated for legitimate reasons.

No, I'm not apparently. Twitter withdrew its lawsuit in this case... And, those logos are part of the account in question as indicated within that very post (@ALT_USCIS That's the account).
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/twi...cid=spartandhp
It sounds to me like DHS knows who's behind that account already and simply doesn't need Twitter to do anything.
The ACLU is involved too and apparently already defending the person or persons behind this account which would indicate that Twitter's information is no longer at issue. If, as indicated, the person or persons behind this account is / are government employees, boy are they hit.

Did you read the article or just the headline? The lawsuit was dropped because the government also withdrew their request. Most likely knowing that they wouldn't have won in court, they had 0 legal authority to unmask whoever this person is. Sorry to disappoint you, but freedom of speech won this battle.
Back to the drawing board for the thought police."Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
