Twitter Vs. The Super Injuction

Hypothetically, imagine you have done something morally very wrong… Obviously, you don’t wont the whole world to know…. Your good friend Twitter, however, just can’t stop updating everyone on your business. Unfortunate, right?

Well… perhaps for those whom are super rich this may be a thing of the past. According reports this morning, Twitter may be forcefully silenced on issues that are court matters, better known as, an expensive super injunction; a little controversial. you might say…

Primarily Britain is and always has been a place where freedom of speech is hugely championed and enjoyed by all. Super injunctions undeniably go against this, and so would any kind of restrictions on Twitter. We are not all ridiculously wealthy, most of us can’t even fathom being able to pay a court off so stories about us don’t spread, let lone actually having a platinum card to so with.

In opposition to this, there are a number of cries for personal privacy and protection of the innocent, most understandably so in cases where children are involved.

Currently, the work of the courts is being undone by Twitters inevitable need to gossip… If this was your family on the line, would you want to silence Twitter as well…

…Or perhaps would you take it as harsh lesson that needed to be learnt. We are all taught at a young age, our actions have consequences, it doesn’t sit comfortably with me that money should money really be the deciding factor in whose consequences get to ruin their lives and whose get to be swept under the proverbial carpet.

Twitter will potentially be facing a legal battle over this very promptly, watch this space (You can follow Catch21 on Twitter as well!)
