Twitter's new European boss, Mr Tony Wang has suggested that users who break privacy injunctions by posting on the site could face the UK courts.

Tony Wang said people who did "bad things" needed to defend themselves.

Speaking at the e-G8 forum in Paris, Mr Wang said: "Platforms have a responsibility, not to defend that user but to protect that user's right to defend him or herself".

PS makes more sense with this bit added :

He warned that the site would hand over user information to the authorities where they were "legally required".

"Why are we doing intellectually challenging stuff? "

Copy and paste ain't that difficult.

For anyone who has named a certain footballer on Twitter and by extension Fabswingers is at risk of details being handed over to the Court/lawyers for that footballer.

Any UK citizen who flouts UK law should be bought to account for their actions, irrespective of how they breach our laws.

Can't understand why they should think they should get away with such actions, just because they do it in cyberspace

Me thinks you worry unnecessarily.

They might pursue someone who leaks court information on the internet.

But they're not interested in people who merely repeat it after that.

Those people aren't disclosing anything confidential, they're just gossiping.

Just on a technical point. The High Court injunction didn't and doesn't apply in Scotland. An interdict from the Court of Session would have had to have been sought and secured. It wasn't.

That's why the Sunday Herald got away with what it did and it took great pains to ensure it did nothing to circulate their 'revelations' beyond the Scottish border.

I wouldn't be so sure.

It's unlikely to happen in this case but if a situation arose where someone broke the terms of an injunction online and another person used that information to, for example, write a book and earn a lot of money from doing that, a court might take the view that the those earnings should be forfeit.

The author wouldn't be "disclosing anything confidential" but I doubt they could use the 'I'm only passing on gossip' defence.
