Just how much exposure, good or bad, can you get through the Internet? As a facilitator of brand exposure online, we work hard to make sure businesses can be found on the web.

You can stop the Newspapers publishing information about people’s private lives, but how on Earth do you stop people Tweeting about a leaked story?

Privacy and The Internet: Can We Stop Twitter Trends?

Trying to stop the steam-roller of exposure that is known as a Twitter Trend is seemingly impossible. The super-injunction which Ryan Giggs took out [over allegations of an extra-marital affair] has again raised question over the enforcement of Judgements by the High Court.

Concerns lie with not with stopping Newspapers, TV and Radio disclosing the names of those involved, but with preventing a leak being spread across the Internet like wild fire. As soon as the general public picked up on the ‘Ryan Giggs Sues Twitter’ suggestion, they obviously figured he has something to hide.

The ensuing blitz of posts repeating the phrase “Ryan Giggs is suing twitter. I can’t Imogen why” is surely not going to be something which the Manchester United player has any control over. Asking Twitter to disclose the names of those leaking the information has now put a little egg on the face of the Cardiff born 37 year old. When there are 10,000 posts with the same Tweet, what chance have you got of stopping those determined with exposing information on private lives?
