Investigating Twitter and the Superinjuctions

Below is a mini documentary where both Yasmin and I discussed the Twitter Scandal which involved Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs filing a suit against Britains High Court against Twitter and "person's unknown" or those responsible for the information of his affair with Imogen Thomas and sister in law Natasha Giggs which was exposed on Twitter accounts. United player Giggs is often know for his squeaky clean reputation but happened to be the sole football player to be mentioned in a strand of 6 tweets about celebrities who had taken out gagging orders on the press. Under English law, anyone with enough money and a reputation worth protecting can take out a so-called injunction, which stops the mainstream media base in England from reporting on a story that infringes on their privacy – often being related to a seedy affair of some sort. Located below is a screenshot of the original tweet from Twitter account user '@InjuctionSuper'exposing Gigg's affair with ex Big Brother star Imogen Thomas.
