An Australian judge has ruled that Twitter must hand over the personal data of one of its users.
An Australian judge ruled that Twittermust hand over information about a PRGuy17 user to far-right activist Avi Yemini. An Australian anti-Islam provocateur launched a lawsuit in an Australian federal court in February this year, claiming PRGuy17's tweets were defamatory, reports The Guardian.
Judge Debbie Mortimer granted the wishYemini, ruling by consent that Twitter must hand over the account's name, email and IP address within 14 days. The alleged defamatory tweets included calling Yemini a "threat" Australia's national security and beyond.
Yemini tweeted that PRGuy"hides behind his fake profile to defame "political opponents". The far-right activist hinted that he wants to use this opportunity to "expose" his “sparring partner” on Twitter.
This is not the first time that the far-rightthe figure is trying to destroy his critic on the Internet. Previously, he "exposed" an Australian journalist by revealing his name and address, which led to numerous death threats and forced the journalist to delete his social accounts.
