UK court orders service via twitter
The BBC news reports that the UK High Court has ordered that an injunction be served via twitter. From the article:
The order is to be served against an unknown Twitter user who anonymously posts to the site using the same name as a right-wing political blogger.
The order demands the anonymous Twitter user reveal their identity and stop posing as Donal Blaney, who blogs at a site called Blaney’s Blarney.
The order says the Twitter user is breaching the copyright of Mr Blaney.
We have seen service by Facebook in Canada - perhaps it is inevitable that in the right circumstances we will see service by twitter.
[...] In some ways, it seems odd to discuss notices by email in a time where we talk about service of court documents by Facebook and Twitter. [...]
