No. I'm pretty sure the subpoena was for _public_ tweets and personal identifiable information (ip address, email, ...).

I think you are confusing personal identifiable information with direct messages. The direct messages _do_ have an expectation of privacy around them, but that information was never requested.

It was for "all user information" whatever that means.
