Moderation and 'superinjunctions'

Post categories:

Paul WakelyPaul Wakely|16:00 UK time, Tuesday, 24 May 2011

Editor's note: a big story for the the BBC and for the whole of UK media this last week has been the limits of what can be said where a court injunction applies and when it has effectively collapsed. Paul Wakely explains the rules that apply to what you say at bbc.co.uk - SB.

I'm the Editor, Moderation Services for BBC Online, which means I oversee moderation of your comments across the BBC website.

I wanted to respond to some interestingdiscussions about the moderation we've applied to comments about the 'footballer injunction' that has received so much coverage during the last few days. Following the naming of the footballer in Parliament I will, as much as I can, explain where we are drawing the line with moderation, and explain why some of you have had your comments removed for saying things everyone is saying on Twitter.
