As we are getting mails, messages and much more regarding the tweet of AP in which they said that “We are Anonymous. We do not forgive. We do not Forgot. Expect us”, and in the seek of info we found an interesting news on “ www.mediaite.com ” about the AP, why they tweeted that they are Anonymous and we think that the tweet is linked from this news.

The news is that the Department of Justice secretly obtained two months worth of the Associated Press reporters’ and editors’ telephone records, the news organization’s CEO called the move a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into the constitutional rights of a press outlet.





First see the AP Tweet’s Screenshot taken by chronicle.su:





According to the AP’s attorneys, the records obtained by the DOJ included the incoming and outgoing calls of the outlet’s reporters and offices on both cell and home phone lines. The company’s CEO Gary Pruitt wrote a letter of protest to Attorney General Eric Holder demanding the return of the records and destruction of all copies. He also rebuked the government agency for obtaining information far beyond what would ever be necessary in a specific investigation under the law.

He wrote, in part:

“There can be no possible justification for such an overbroad collection of the telephone communications of The Associated Press and its reporters. These records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the newsgathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period, provide a road map to AP’s newsgathering operations, and disclose information about AP’s activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know.”
