Sony has told Twitter it must suspend the accounts of people who posted hacked material from the movie studio and block those tweets -- or face legal consequences.
David Boies, Sony's top attorney, had already written to traditional news organizations, including CNN, asking them to stop examining and publicizing the corporate secrets that hackers have made public.
