Turned out to be a Social experiment all along, pretty eye opening. It was all over the news and like being tweeted by big celebrities and such. The fact it's not an verified account adds to how awesome this is, pretty much everyone believed it.

[@]@OfficialGlitter[/@] is the account btw.

What I noticed was in this:

http://www.nme.com/news/gary-glitter/61560

"NME also made inquiries to the Home Office press office earlier today about the online restrictions which are can be placed upon registered sex offenders and was told that the police cannot ban anyone from using the internet as it would "violate their human rights" and any online monitoring of registered sex offenders by police was carried out on a "case by case basis"."

Now read this article: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/01...net_not_right/

"“Technology is an enabler of rights, not a right itself,” he writes. “There is a high bar for something to be considered a human right. Loosely put, it must be among the things we as humans need in order to lead healthy, meaningful lives, like freedom from torture or freedom of conscience. It is a mistake to place any particular technology in this exalted category, since over time we will end up valuing the wrong things.”"

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.

To be fair, Gary should be put in a room with no windows. The room locked let him suffer, painfully

That is brilliant, what an interesting experiment and it will probably make the headlines on Monday. I wonder what [@]@-:Undertaker:-[/@] will have to say about the human rights issue.. !

This is news to me Have people not learnt to take Twitter accounts with a pinch of salt? All throughout 2010 and 2011 there was news that Ian Hislop had a fake Twitter account, and Frankie Boyle (until he made one himself), to name a few. Why did people believe this account to actually be Gary Glitter? What evidence was there and why are people so interested in an ex-convicted paedophile?
