    Twitter has announced that they plan to continue appealing a court order to turn over a user's tweets to the authorities. This comes after a ruling last month from a New York criminal judge that Twitter should turn over a slew of tweets from Malcolm Harris, an Occupy Wall Street protestor, since the tweets were once public. According to a court document, Twitter is taking their appeal to the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court for the First Judicial Department of New York.
