Parliament To Uphold Privacy Injunctions
- The Guardian , Monday, March 26, 2012 3 AM
This week, the joint Commons and Lords committee is expected to recommend that Britain does not need a privacy law as it simultaneously upholds the granting of privacy injunctions. It will, however, recommend in its report that gagging orders should routinely be served to websites like Facebook and Twitter as well as newspapers. The cross-party panel of MPs and peers was set up to examine the balance between privacy and freedom of expression in the wake of the Ryan Giggs scandal.
