High Court orders Twitter to remove 'sexual' impersonation of Irish teacher

Twitter International was directed by a High Court judge in Dublin today to remove from the internet “grossly defamatory and offensive sexually related pictures and tweets” about an Irish schoolteacher.

Mr Justice Michael White ordered Twitter International, which has its registered address at Pearse Street, Dublin, to immediately take down the offensive material contained in a profile associated with a woman in Co Kildare, currently home for Christmas from Abu Dhabi where she teaches.
