As far as I know Twitter is still HQ in California and the current laws is:
The legal definition of posting harmful information on the internet under California Penal Code 653.2 is as follows:
You used an electronic communication device to distribute electronically, publish, email, hyperlink or make available for downloading personal identifying information or an electronic message of a harassing nature about another person;
You did so without that person’s consent;
You did so with the intent to place that person in reasonable fear for his/her safety or the safety of his/her immediate family;
You did so for the purpose of imminently causing that other person unwanted physical contact, injury or harassment; andThe personal identifying information or message you shared would be likely to incite or produce that unwanted physical contact, injury or harassment.

That must apply to private people. Obviously you can post leaks about public figures, without their consent, with the intent they be harassed.
That is the most important form of free speech - criticising political candidates.
