Twitter and Facebook: Injunction issued banning publication of information on social networking sites - mirror.co.uk

Twitter and Facebook: Injunction issued banning publication of information on social networking sites - mirror.co.uk: "A High Court judge has issued an injunction which bans publication of information on Twitter and Facebook.

The order, made by Mr Justice Baker in the Court of Protection - linked to the Family Division of the High Court - is thought to be the first to place a specific ban on publishing information on any 'social network or media including Twitter or Facebook', as well as in other media.

The normal orders issued by the Family Division judges to prevent identification of children and others involved in cases simply ban publication of specified information in 'any newspaper, magazine, public computer network, internet website, sound or television broadcast or cable or satellite programme'.
