Is Tweeting a Crime?


Huffington Post is reporting that a WTO protester was arrested and charged with “hindering prosecution” for using Twitter to direct protester movements at a demonstration against the G20 economic summit in Pittsburgh.

FBI agents subsequently executed a search warrant at the man’s home, where they seized computers, political writings and anarchist literature.

From what I can tell, it’s got no mention of organizing demonstrations . . . although it may warrant mentioning that there is a section on “electronic sabotage and surveillance.”
