Material that is published on Twitter should be considered public and can be published, the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) has ruled. The decision follows a complaint by a Department of Transport official that the use of her tweets by newspapers constituted an invasion of privacy. Sarah Baskerville complained to the PCC about articles in the Daily Mail and Independent on Sunday. The messages included remarks about being hungover at work. She complained that this information was private and was only meant to be seen by her 700 followers.
