Twitter not objecting to Benfica's request for information about alleged defamatory posts

Benfica's Joao Mario celebrates after scoring his team's second goal during the Champions League group H soccer match between SL Benfica and Juventus last month.

Twitter is not objecting to a request for High Court orders requiring it to reveal the holder of an account that has posted allegedly defamatory information about Portugal-based Benfica football club.

The owners and operators of SL Benfica, Sport Lisboa E Benfica-Futebol, Sociedade Anonima Desportiva, are asking the court to order Twitter’s European headquarters in Dublin to disclose the identity of the person or people behind the “@o_tal_pulha” account.
