Twitter users warned over contempt
Users of Twitter could face legal action for contempt of court if they use the micro-blogging website to breach privacy injunctions, the UK's Attorney General warned today.
Twitter played a key role in the exposure of footballer Ryan Giggs’s alleged affair with reality TV contestant Imogen Thomas, after an MP argued in the House of Commons that it was not possible to prosecute 75,000 of the site’s users who had named him.
