American social networking site Twitter has bowed to a court action brought by a British group complaining that they were libelled in messages. Twitter have revealed the personal data of hundreds of accounts which revealed South Tyneside's councils spending, and more than 65,000 people who have posted tweets about super-injunctions now face the same fate. The individuals who brought the legal action were councillors and officials at a local authority, South Tyneside - costing council tax payers hundreds of thousands of pounds in legal costs...
The council are undertaking a massive cover-up over how they spent, or rather wasted taxpayers money. This is a clear unprecedented ruling has prompted a row over freedom of speech, with experts warning that it may lead to a flood of actions by lawyers in other cases seeking to obtain personal information about people who breach super-injunctions or post libellous messages on Twitter.
In other injunction news the creepy Archbishop of Canterbury defended super-injunctions claiming the super rich and famous deserved to be able to take out court orders which the majority of the population cannot afford. I wonder what secrets the creep has to hide who has previously defended paedophile priests..
that is the creepiest looking priest ever
