The BBC really don’t understand the internet….

Or at least pretend not to.

Lots of reports on these “super” injunctions (which Tim has no comment on of course), and lots of images too, some of which clumsily redacted.

One image, randomly chosen includes the words “british comedian/actor” and little else. One google search for

site:twitter.com “british comedian/actor”

…and you can know who is being referred to. I’m not encouraging you do so (there are no hyperlinks to results here) but I want to point out that the BBC are only nominally adhering to the injunction.

The mainstream media complain about the social media, but they use them as much as they can when it suits them.
