Yesterday, Mr Donal Blaney, a solicitor and political commentator, was granted permission by the High Court to serve an injunction by Twitter – the first time this has ever been done. The injunction required an unknown Twitter user to stop posting under Mr Blaney’s identity and to identify himself.
Today, I received from Twitter notification that Mr Blaney was following me, which I thought a bit of a coincidence. In fact, given the particularly revolting content of the follower’s postings, it was pretty obviously the individual Mr Blaney is gunning for, who is self-evidently in flagrant breach of the injunction.
I have blocked Mr Blaney’s persecutor, who is clearly severely disturbed, from following me and wish Mr Blaney every success in suing the pants off him.
