Quote:
Mr Jackson's lawyers said they were "monitoring everything", including social media commentary, WhatsApp, Google searches and the protests that have taken place in Belfast, Londonderry and across Ireland;
People using the "IBelieveHer" hashtag were warned it was defamatory, meaning every one of the thousands who have shared it on Twitter is at risk of being sued;
Belfast solicitor Kevin Winters said they were "setting down a marker" and would not hesitate to issue proceedings;
Sources close to the legal teams said they were monitoring online content at all times;
It emerged a juror had posted an online comment on the verdict, and could face arrest and contempt of court proceedings.

How on earth are they monitoring whatsapp, its private and encrypted
Can't find the jurors comment
Anyway, in response, over 4000 peeople have tweeted #SueMePaddy

What an idiot, they must know that this will inflame things further and a threat of being sued is just not going to make people shut up about something they feel passionately about anyway.
(Yes, I have tweeted both hashtags)
