For decades, AT&T gave the government unlimited access to all its technology. The head of AT&T and Bell Labs would personally go to DC on a secret schedule and share technical documentation that let the NSA spy (illegally) on Americans (see Idea Factory for footnotes, etc). From what I read, Twitter pushed back against the government in a thoughtful way. If you have problems with what the government is doing, use these files to file a lawsuit. If you think the US government is going to change being heavy handed I think you'll be depressed at the outcome.
