In what can be described as the first case of its kind the British High Court has served injunction to an anonymous twitter user who was using a fake Id of a lawyer named Donal Blaney to spread conservative news. Now this is a strange case where the identity of the defendant was not known and so the court decided that Twitter would be the best service to issue the injunction! The injunction asks the impersonator to reveal his/her identity and stop defaming Donal Blaney who also happens to be an active blogger. Serving legal notices is a complicated process, there are countries where notices are served in person, then there are places where these are delivered by mail, but Twitter well this is different. Although court notices can be issued by fax or even email in the UK. The web is changing our lives, it is changing the way we interact, socialize or even entertain ourselves.
