Twitter has to turn over information about an Occupy Wall Street protester's posts or face a fine, a judge ruled, giving the company three days to show it isn't in contempt of court.

New York State Supreme Court Judge Matthew A. Sciarrino Jr. in Manhattan today said Twitter must produce the information by September 14 or provide its earnings statements from the last two quarters so he can decide on a fine. The judge had asked Twitter to show why it wasn't in contempt of court after refusing to produce information about Twitter posts by protester Malcolm Harris in response to a subpoena from Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.

"I can't put Twitter or the little blue bird in jail, so the only way to punish is monetarily," Sciarrino said.

Sciarrino ruled June 30 that Twitter must turn over the posts from September 15 to December 30 and user information linked to the "@destructuremal" account of Harris, who was arrested on October 1 with about 700 protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge, denying the company's request to quash the subpoena. Twitter then asked for a stay that would block enforcement of the order while it appealed Sciarrino's decision. That request was denied on September 7, according to court records.
