Mr Monkey aka “persons unknown”

I never believed there was any anonymity on the web, many have operated assuming it is a free realm without consequence, but this about knocks one of the last nails into the myth. Twitter has obliged and handed over the full details of a UK local councilor following a Californian court ruling. The Twitter account 'Mr Monkey' has apparently used Twitter to whistleblow news that South Tyneside Council would prefer out of the public realm. A local authority can't be libeled, but three councilors can, and they have used public money to chase their case across to California. Twitter complied, let's see if other rich folk get to force them to do the same. Shouldn't have to wait too long...
