Russell Brand could be banned from Twitter. Is this a good, or a bad thing? On the one hand he is quite a laugh and generally entertaining when he takes news reporters and fellow celebs head-on, however, his rambling can get quite excessive to say the least and sometimes he bores you to death.
He recently tweeted the contact details of a journalist to his 8.7 million followers.
The comedian tweeted a photograph of the business card of a senior Daily Mail reporter that included his work phone number, mobile number, and work email address.
Brand deleted the tweet, but did not apologise for publicising the journalist’s contact details.
“That was a bit nuts. He put it thru me door with ‘please call’ on it. They’re bothering me Mum. Deleted it. I’m human,” Brand wrote.
Despite deleting the offending tweet, Brand could face a ban from Twitter which clearly state:
“You may not publish or post other people’s private and confidential information, such as credit card numbers, street address or Social Security/National Identity numbers, without their express authorisation and permission.”
It will be very interesting to see how the story develops, and whether Russell decides to go down fighting. Twitter could get very, very interesting if he does. Stay glued.
