Twitter lost a key legal battle yesterday as it tries to fight a court order to release a user's tweets in an Occupy Wall Street protest investigation.

An appeals court in New York said Twitter cannot stall a criminal case against Malcolm Harris, a protester arrested on the Brooklyn Bridge last October, while the company appeals a judge's order for the release of tweets related to the case.
