ontd_footballWebsite faces action after users purported to reveal name of player who allegedly had affair with model Imogen Thomas
A footballer has sued Twitter after a number of the microblogging site's users purported to reveal the name of the player who allegedly had an affair with model Imogen Thomas.
The footballer's legal team began the legal action at the high court in London on Wednesday, in what is thought to be the first action against the US social media firm and its users.
The lawsuit lists the defendants as "Twitter Inc and persons unknown". The latter are described as those "responsible for the publication of information on the Twitter accounts" in the court document, according to reports.
Twitter had not responded to a request for comment at time of publication.
The lord chief justice, Lord Judge, on Friday said Twitter and its users were totally out of control when it comes to privacy injunctions and court orders.

Date: 2011-05-20 04:55 pm (UTC)Does he realise this is just making him look even worse?! He had an affair, He is not the first, not the last, and quite frankly most people would have stopped caring by now if this privacy/injunction/suing twitter business hadn't caused such a shitstorm.
WE ALL KNOW WHO IT IS. What is being achieved by all of this? Nothing, except a disgusting attempt to encroach on our freedom of speech. SMH.
