    Do you think that's right?

    I'm surprised that they need to subpoena it rather than just google it. Anything you post on the open internet is public information forever. Especially on Twitter which is as public a broadcast medium as you care to imagine.

    So, yes the judgement that Twitter should hand that over is probably right.
    Whether those tweets should be considered as sufficient evidence for conviction of an individual, however is the real matter for debate.
