Twitter reveals secrets: Details of British users handed over in
landmark case that could help Ryan Giggs
Twitter has handed over the confidential details of British users in a
landmark legal case.
There is quite a big difference between asking Twitter to release user
information in pursuit of a libel action (which is what is happening
here), and doing so in pursuit of a contempt of court case resulting
from a superinjunction.
I'm not sure that Californian courts would be as happy to assist in
the superinjunction case.

Yes, there is a difference.
But the media is focussed on Twitter.... and never let the facts get in
the way of a good story.
