ANOTHER defiant twitter user has published details of 13 alleged super-injunctions.
The anonymous tweeter uploaded the list yesterday morning, including links to court documents, names of those alleged to be involved and even their addresses.
It appeared just hours after Twitter, based in California, caved in to a legal challenge and agreed to release the personal details of five account holders to find an anonymous British blogger.
The latest list is reportedly not entirely accurate - leading to fears that innocent people's reputations could be tarnished.
It was later removed, but not before attracting more than 500 followers within ten hours.
The information was later repeated countless times on Twitter and across the internet. Legal experts have warned the whole existence of celebrity injunctions is in jeopardy after millions read blogs and Twitter pages in recent weeks claiming to reveal details.
This most recent Twitter claim comes just weeks after another Twitter user who claimed to have outed several names behind the orders attracted more than 100,000 followers within a couple of days.
The discussion spilled over on to Facebook, which has more than 250million users.
Meanwhile, the town hall which forced Twitter to unmask a blogger who criticised councillors and officials has spent more than two years fighting its case in the U.S. courts, it was revealed yesterday.
South Tyneside Council used taxpayers' money to hire one of the biggest U.S. law firms and employed lawyers to make applications to California courts.
John Hemming, the LibDem MP who has campaigned against privacy injunctions, declared: 'In a world where we are short of money to pay for public services, this is a misuse of public funds.'
