No; Twitter originally argued that privacy laws were being violated by this request. They should have stuck to this position and contested any contempt fines. Someone has to be willing to get involved and challenge this if privacy law is indeed being violated by the district attorney or other parties in these cases.

It seems to me that the appeal is already a form of contest.

Appeals aren't over. Miranda got his conviction overturned because his civil rights were denied. The law moves slow, but it does move.
