Abusing Power to Shut Down a Twitter Parody Account
This is a pretty horrible story of a small-town mayor abusing his authority—warrants where there is no crime, police raids, incidental marijuana bust—to identify and shut down a Twitter parody account. The ACLU is taking the case.

Similar abuses of power have been used in the UK and other places. Thus I suspect it is realy a standard political weapon these days, along with deliberatly manipulating voter lists etc.
