Twitter reveals secrets: Details of British users handed over
in
landmark case that could help Ryan Giggs
Twitter has handed over the confidential details of British
users in a
landmark legal case.
There is quite a big difference between asking Twitter to
release user information in pursuit of a libel action (which
is what is happening here), and doing so in pursuit of a
contempt of court case resulting from a superinjunction.
I'm not sure that Californian courts would be as happy to
assist in the superinjunction case.
