Twitter to Release Spoof Account Details
Guido understands that Twitter will hand over the personal details of the Steve Auckland spoof account holder to Northcliffe Media after refusing to back him in his legal dispute with the Daily Mail subsidiary. On Monday Guido published the subpoena filed against Twitter demanding the release of the name, address, phone number and IP address of the account’s author, while Northcliffe chief executive Auckland launched a witch hunt to find the perpetrator. Despite Twitter’s terms of service stating that personal data is the property of the individual and not the company they appear to have abandoned their client, telling him:
“Twitter will do so [release the information] on August 1, 2012. If requested, we can provide copies of any records disclosed. We note that civil procedure does permit you to either file your motion to quash or to serve your objections on the requesting party directly. Twitter cannot provide any advice other than to contact an attorney.”
A lone individual left hung out to dry by a billion-dollar US company as a UK newspaper company tries to stifle his freedom of speech. Guido really hopes it turns out to be someone very close to the boss…
Thats a bit naughty!
Forget ‘naughty’ – this is a f*cking disgrace!!
You simply cannot trust anyone these days…
I’m Notstevedorkland!
No, I am!
Hiya stranger
Twitter ye not!
What’s the world coming to ?
They will be telling us next that The Queen on Twitter is not written by Her Maj..
On the other hand, it may well turn out that she IS writing it..
“Gin O’Clock” folks..
And here’s me thinking that free speech is protected by article 10 of the Human Rights Act
Come on – it was just a money making scam, like everything I do.
Rights are protected, provided you have money to pay for them.
P.S. If you do have money to pay for them, contact my wife Cherie Booth QC
billion-dollar US company likes to fuck people up the arse
is this news?
What was their phone number again?
waiting for spoof details .
luvit luvit luvit. This more like the real Guido.
