Default High Court Injunction Twitter...

Just noticed this
www.pcworld.com/article/173008/uk_high_court_serves_injunction_over_twitter.html

About time stuff like this was stepped on

lol I like the bit at the end where it says Twitter could not imediately be reached. Looking at the article, I think that was half the blokes problem, (That he couldn't reach them)

Sign of the times. There's two questions that come to mind from that article:

1) How valid is an injunction served through Twitter? When you get served, there needs to be evidence that you actually received the document. How can they prove that with a DM?

2) Even the court can't get Twitter to respond faster than a week later. I imagine a couple of blokes sitting on the beach doing customer support on a laptop like "dude, I'll get to those emails later, Family Guy is on." LOL

Surely Twitter would know, but as you mentioned, it takes Twitter a while to respond and I imagine it would take them quite a long while to see when or if a DM was viewed on Twitter.

If it was viewed.

I don't even really read my DMs anymore. Most of the time, I can't even open the tab on Twitter. Just times out or something. And then usually it's just full of "join my mafia" and "I just took this quiz" garbage that's not even worth it anyway.

DMs used to be good for exchanging quick messages with people, but now they are completely useless.

I hear you Dan. When I first signed up for Twitter I followed back anyone who followed me first. Which I think is the norm for everyone else when they join.

But I have been making a concentrated effort to block anyone who spams my DM or Timeline with blatant pitches and that includes the Mafia requests too.

After about 3 days effort my Timeline and dm's are pretty clean now.

Now when someone follows me I check them out and block them immediately if they offer no value or are spammers.

But what I liked about the article was that Blaney didn't even bother contacting Twitter before taking this matter to court.

He said his reason for doing so was that it takes Twitter up to a week to reply to an inquiry.

My question is this...

How long does it take a matter to be heard in court after you file the papers? Surely it's longer than a week?
