Do NOT accept the ‘outrage’ US lawmakers are making against the US Intelligence Community on the leaks….
Those lawmaker ‘s have made it illegal for US Intelligence agencies to in fact monitor American social media network’s due to privacy worries….
THAT make’s the US Government the ONLY organization that doesn’t….

In Twitter’s case, the classified material appears to have fallen through a policy loophole. The posting of classified US military documents would likely not be a violation of Twitter’s hacked materials policy, a former Twitter employee told CNN, “because there isn’t credible evidence establishing the likelihood of a technical hack or intrusion as the source of the materials.”…
