Can the U.S. Government close social media accounts?

http://j.mp/s4Ek1i  (Salon)

   "The Obama administration and The New York Times are teaming up to
    expose and combat the grave threat posed by a Twitter account,
    purportedly operated by the Somali group Shabab, and in doing so, are
    highlighting the simultaneous absurdity and perniciousness of the War
    on Terror. This latest tale of Dark Terrorist Evil began on December
    14 when the NYT's Jeffrey Gettleman directed intrepid journalistic
    light on the Twitter account maintained under the name "HSMPress,"
    which claims to be the press office of Harakat al-Shabab
    al-Mujahedeen, the Shabab's full name."
