According to the documents, Twitter initially delayed complying with the search warrant as they contested the nondisclosure order. Eventually, Twitter did comply, but it was three days past the court-ordered deadline.
As a result, Twitter has been fined $350,000 for the delay in producing the requested information.
Twitter’s argument against the nondisclosure order focused on violations of the First Amendment and the Stored Communications Act. They also believed that the district court should have suspended enforcement of the search warrant until their objections to the nondisclosure order were resolved. Twitter’s appeal and motions to the court and district court were all rejected.
The government imposed a fine of $50,000 per day of delay, which doubled each day that Twitter failed to comply. The court documents state that the government suggested a $350,000 sanction for Twitter’s three days of noncompliance after the deadline passed.
Twitter paid the $350,000 sanction into an escrow account maintained by the district court clerk’s office after their appeal and motions were rejected.
