These super-injuctions are in fact restricting press freedom and this could one day keep important information to the public under secrecy because of a super-injunction.
Super-Injunctions have also been made to look even more ridiculous this week, as a loop in the injunction saw a Twitter user publish a list of celebrities that are all being protected by super-injunctions, a wrongly accused Jemima Khan was also on the list. Funnily enough, the injunction does not stop American websites publishing this information.
If a celebrity is paying thousands of pounds for an injunction, only for a social networking or web site to publish the restricted information, then really, what is the point of these super-injunctions? If the information is being found out, then surely there is no need for an expensive super-injunction? All they are simply doing is giving the Press less freedom.
