In light of what& #39;s been seen on & #39; #F1 Twitter& #39; over the weekend, it& #39;s worth remembering that comments made on Twitter can leave yourself open to legal proceedings in the absence of court findings. The best intent in the world doesn& #39;t change that.

And please don& #39;t misconstrue this as me not being supportive of those who have come forward. But unproven (at a legal level) vigilante mob judgement by social media is very damaging to any potential court hearing. And those accused can very easily seek legal recompense.

I& #39;ve seen publications, journos and accounts outright naming an individual as having done something illegal.

There is a presumption of innocence in law, before judgement. Publishing this & #39;fact& #39; (and a tweet is a publishing) means the individual named can go after you.
