I don't think Twitter ever actually gave that data up, IIRC?

[Senn Typhos]

You say that like it's relevant.

See, Ken gets it. You weirdos in Over-Thereistan just don't understand.

[Milo Caman]

I wouldn't be too sure of that. As I recall, Twitter immediately rolled over with big puppy-dog eyes as soon as they were asked for user details of people that may have broken a super injunction in the UK by naming a footballer on Twitter.

Can you source that? I'm not entirely sure whether they did or not. Ta' for reminding me though. Looking around on Google now.

I don't know, actually. I know Twitter released a statement on the subject, but then things went quiet. It stopped being newsworthy, I guess. I know that I never heard anything more about it, and I was one of the many people that tweeted the name, FWIW.

[Milo Caman]

Well, Google hasn't yielded anything. There are articles saying the users in question could be prosecuted *if* they can identify them.
Thing is, Twitter isn't hosted in the UK, so our courts have no way of getting them to release names. Good thing too, the whole idea of a Superinjunction, especially to cover up some Footballer's sordid affair, is utterly wrong.

Ryan Giggs.

There, I said it.

Link to the original Twitter is at the beginning of this thread.

I was going to take the downtime to check out the game Minecraft...but Lulz got them too!

I guess I could go read a book or go outside or something...

[Milo Caman]

They seem to have laid off the Minecraft Servers. Apparently League of Legends are currently being kept offline.
They've probably stopped hitting EVE's servers as well, but :ccp: are probably keeping them offline for total lack of competence security reasons.

EDIT: The tears on that article are so tasty.

[Robert Kauliford]

I believe Twitter voluntarily released the e-mail address used to register the account that violated the injunction. I guess they didn't want to get dragged into a messy transatlantic court case

[hellgremlin]

Hahahahahahahaha.

[Casiella]

The most entertaining bit of this for me? CCP is now DOSing themselves.

[Senn Typhos]

...

Get out.

[Crucifire]

I'm going to get really, really drunk.

...

Okay, so I was going to do that anyway.

People are genuinely starting to get angry over this whole thing, and the anger's getting directed at AtlasDOT due to a claim posted on their killboard's news section (directly copied from their site):

We would like to annouce that Atlas. has paid LulzSec to carry out the final, and most important stage of Operation: Free Shmak Datash.

TAKE THAT GM HORSE/NOVA!

I await your pitiful attempt to attack me by banning my account, fuckers.

Just Atlas trollers I doubt any legit responsibility.
