Twitter breaks UK law; complaint made to the Information Commissioner
Identified? This person posted screenshots that appear to show they are responsible for the complaint that had Vox Political’s Mike Sivier suspended from Twitter. Mike has no idea who this person is and a Twitter search provides no evidence of any contact.
You may recall that This Writer’s Twitter account was suspended before Christmas – based, I believe, on the false claims of the owner of the account shown in the image above.
I submitted a Subject Access Request to Twitter on December 12 last year, requiring it to deliver all information about the suspension to me within one calendar month.
Twitter has failed to honour that request and is therefore in breach of UK law. Twitter is not exempt from the law.
I have therefore made a complaint about Twitter to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
I don’t know whether it will do any good; the ICO’s response when the Labour Party failed to honour a SAR was absolutely hopeless.
But every little helps – right?
Have YOU donated to my crowdfunding appeal, raising funds to fight false libel claims by TV celebrities who should know better? These court cases cost a lot of money so every penny will help ensure that wealth doesn’t beat justice.

How does one go about reporting the devious b*****d to twitter and getting HIM banned?
Twitter does not have a good record in this respect. Better to bring Twitter’s legal breach to the authorities and try to get this big corporation to own up to its responsibilities first, before trying to get it actually to behave in accordance with those responsibilities.
