Reported today
the first time SF , Calif., based Twitter

in a illegal fashion.



This is a turning point.

"The social network has passed the name, email address and telephone number of a south Tyneside councillor accused of libelling the local authority via a series of anonymous Twitter accounts. South Tyneside council took the legal fight to the superior court of California, which ordered Twitter, based in San Francisco, to hand over the user's private details."

Like a MP said they can't lock up all the people that have mentioned it on Twitter.

Everyone was still mentioning it after the truth finally came out..

No but in this Slander Case
of attacking a Local Council
it has become a Landmark case.

It changes the Rules.

Lawyers target Twitter again over super-injunction leaks

Just enough time to pack a bag and head for South America ..... :joker:

Disgusting... if I were Khan, I wouldn't hesitate to take this up with the European Court of Human Rights.

Also, I'd be interested to know how council tax payers in South Tyneside feel about their money being squandered on hounding a whistleblower in a foreign court.

We need libel law reform and now.
