American law. Pft. Not everyone in the world is subject to Roman rule...

Not talking about Twitter here - the individual may not be American (America - the new Rome.)

You can break American law without ever going to the US (and for that matter, the law of any country really). If I hire an assassin to kill someone in the US, I don't ever have to set foot on US soil and I am still breaking US law.

It really doesn't matter where I am physically to break a law of a different country. Now whether my country is going to extradite me is a different question.

So Twitter can turn over the information and allow investigators to determine whom or where the user was from.

Yes, of course - that’s not debated. Now if that post was by a someone outside American boarders...

This seems irrelevant. The Twitter user isn't charged with anything.
