Man Utd Player 'Ryan Giggs' To Sue Twitter (and Possibly NL) For Exposing Him by Sunofgod(m): 10:30am On May 21, 2011 |
British Soccer Star Sues Twitter Over Privacy Issue For weeks, British tabloids were prohibited from outing a soccer star who allegedly had a longtime affair with former supermodel and reality-TV star Imogen Thomas. It was due to something issued by British courts called a “super-injunction,” which many British celebrities and personalities obtain, so salacious personal details aren’t published by the papers. Of course, information wants to be free, so that little roadblock didn’t hold back the aptly named @InjunctionSuper, who went public with the allegation May 8 with the above-mentioned tweet. Now the soccer player (still officially unnamed) has turned to the courts yet again, this time with a decidedly harsher legal action. In papers filed Wednesday with the High Court, an individual identified only as “CTB” sued the social media giant and at least one anonymous user for violating the super-injunction. Of course, after @InjunctionSuper’s tweet, many media outlets began relaying the information. Ryan Giggs, who’s named in the reports, is one of the most decorated players in the history of Manchester United, the most valuable sports franchise in the world and Britain’s most legendary soccer club. London-based lawyer James Quartermaine told Bloomberg that there’s little chance Twitter will cooperate with the suit, even though the British courts claim worldwide jurisdiction. Twitter is headquartered in San Francisco. “Twitter will probably just ignore it and consider it to be offensive to their First Amendment rights,” he said. “It’s probably an attempt to try and show that actions have consequences in cyberspace.” Twitter has so far refused to comment on the legal proceedings.

Seun - Dont Panick, they 'no fit' sue you. However its a 'case' you need to follow. Here's an example of how to drive traffic to your site and help it achieve 'Notoriety'. You need an 'Exclusive'. PS: For a 'White Chick' the Girl has a 'Sweet Booty' - |

denzel2009: I think he's wasting his time trying to sue twitter. Such a move is going to be costly and will certainly backfire on him. |

All she wanted was £100,000 - Mr Giggs should have just paid. He probably earns that in a week. Now he's probably going to enter the history books as the guy that fought and lost - Against the truth coming out. |

Quite silly move trying to sue an American company based in San Fransisco and obtain IP addresses without which your identity must be disclosed |

Obiagu1: Lol @ Topic, If he goes ahead with the case, it will only bring more negative publicity for him, which totally defeats the whole idea of having a Super Injunction in the first place. |
