Excerpt:
Elon Musk’s X has been ordered to hand over information about an anonymous user who made allegedly defamatory posts about Belfast solicitor Kevin Winters and others.
Mr Winters, of KRW LAW, has been instructed by a number of individuals, including retired gardaí, who allege they were defamed by the user, identified only as “Malachy O”.
The posts, which were made in May and June 2023 and have since been deleted along with the entire account, targeted ex-Garda whistleblowers and others who were highly critical of alleged Garda wrongdoing.
Mr Winters said his clients, based in the Republic of Ireland, believe the “Malachy O” account was controlled by someone connected to An Garda Síochána.
