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.
