It could be interesting because it is only a District Court judge.  If the case is appealed, it goes to the newly-reconstituted 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, and possibly the SCOTUS. However, this case started in 2014.  What/who did Twitter want to disclose back then (Holder was AG), vs. what/who would they want to disclose today? Twitter might not even want to appeal, but if they do, the decision could get overturned. Bottom line: The government has no blanket authority to hide information from the public.  Here, the judge has no idea what "secrets" the government claims are important.  We know that the DOJ has been full of bad apples the past 6 years, so anything they say is most likely a lie. I agree that it could reveal the pervasiveness of the spying on the public by the government (especially 6+ years ago, when Obama/CIA was running the HAMMER). Should be appealed and overturned, but will Twitter/Jack want to do that TODAY?
