Every now and then I'm reminded that the UK has this thing called a #SuperInjunction, which compels the UK media not to report on a story.
There's something rather quaint about it, like an echo of an earlier era before the telegraph - and The Telegraph.
Unrelatedly, it's always nice to hear what those thoroughly lovely and not in any way dodgy people at the #FreeSpeechUnion have been up to of late...
@amvinfe has a post about how injunctions and superinjunctions are being used to protect entities but work against having an informed public, especially when it comes to cybersecurity.
The recent #Qantas injunction is a useful example of how an injunction won't solve the problem it is sought to allegedly solve, and it only leaves the public in the dark. If @troyhunt were to be sent the data from Qantas, he could not add it to his database for HaveIBeenPwned because he is Australian and HIBP is an Australian entity. So millions of Qantas customers will not be able to check to see if their information has shown up on the dark web as a result of the Qantas breach because of the injunction that was justified as being needed to protect them.
The topic of injunctions and superinjunctions is very near and dear to @amvinfe's heart -- and mine -- as we both got hit with a #superinjunction earlier this year.

All the stories about Keir Starmer and Lord Alli have stopped very abruptly haven't they
Odd that 🤨
What with the super injunction, it's hard to get facts on why on earth Charlotte Owen is in the House of Lords. Some say she's another of Blojo"s spawn. But the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it Stanley?

If the public has a right to know, then what about Charlotte Owen?
The British press has been legally censored to say absolutely nothing about #CharlotteOwen. We know this because #privateeye has said nothing, and, surely they would if they could. Think of Private Eye rather like a #warrantcanary.
