At my tribunal the Judge welcomed live tweeting as a means of #openjustice . It was brilliantly done by @wwwritingclub. Someone didn't like something she reported and complained to @Twitter. Her account was suspended for 12 hrs. She wasn't able to live tweet from #FairCopJRhttps://twitter.com/wwwritingclub/status/1197426894087577600 …

So
@ObjectUK tells me their account also got a@twitter suspension for a tweet from my tribunal. Probably for "deadnaming" this witness. Who still maintains a professional profile in their given name. https://www.qmul.ac.uk/busman/staff/phd/profiles/david-quentin.html …Show this thread
