Sony DMCA's themselves on Twitter

Property is property, and freedom of speech isn't unlimited as well. If you have access to confidential material you can't claim freedom of speech to divulge it.

Sure Sony is aggressive on it, but seeing their own tweet was targeted it certainly have something to do with Tweeter algorythm being overzealous to avoid any possible Sony retaliation on not taking action on a subpuena.

The thing is it’s not confidential anymore. It’s out there and has been for some time now. This isn’t a classified government document...it’s a plot of a video game. People talked about Star Wars spoilers and I don’t recall Disney going about things the way Sony is.

Sure I can get behind silencing videos and tweets or whatever that actively post spoiler content. But memes, reactions, and non contextual discussions...that’s wrong. 

It is confidential and under IP protection. So people preying and festering on the leak know they are in the wrong and are no angels that need protection.

Second paragraph is probably you didn't see that there is plausibility that several of the DMCA claims were automatically by bot monitoring or algorithm since they wouldn't really be able to manually search and analysis every single one. So that would end up on how tweeter reacted to Sony demand.
