New super injunction defying list appears on Twitter
Not long after Twitter handed over the details of one of its users when faced with legal action, another user has begun to post details of gagging orders.
The new list on the social networking site contains links to court documents, as well as the name and addresses of some of those who have been granted injunctions, although it would appear that not all of the information is accurate.
Twitter has already begun to remove information from this list, although some of the information had already been retweeted by the time it began to do so.
The new list followed the Californian company’s decision to agree to hand-over details of a British users who had been posting allegedly libelous claims against representatives of South Tyneside Council. This led the council to approach an American court seeking the person’s identity.
The lawyers acting for footballer Ryan Giggs have also begun legal proceedings to force Twitter to reveal the identities of users who have been naming their client in connection with an extra-marital affair.
