The article is literally about Twitter cutting off access to developers who sell their data feeds to government for surveillance purposes.
I know. I'm skeptical that this policy will be enforced consistently. I think they'll enforce it in a few high profile cases for PR purposes, then the LE agencies will get a little more clever, and surveillance will continue.
AFAIK Twitter doesn't sell access for LE purposes and has cut off people doing that. It's a huge business opportunity to sell to local police departments.
