Twitter account claims to expose injunction celebrities

A TWITTER user has set up an account claiming to expose a series of celebrities and high-profile public figures who have obtained injunctions to prevent reporting about their private lives.

The messages on the microblogging site, which can be read by anyone online, comes after a council defended its legal fight to unmask a blogger amid reports Twitter has handed British users’ details over to the local authority following a court order.

The latest attempt to get around gagging orders supposedly taken out against the media also follows a year-long review of the use of injunctions that exposed tensions between Britain’s parliament and judiciary.
