They got your email from Twitter dummy. They sent a letter to the company stating their intent to sue you for defamation and Twitter would be an accomplice if they didn't comply. It's that easy.
lawyer. no. companies do not turn over info because you threaten them, & twitter is explicitly protected by section 230.
