This is a great question.
I'm something of a free speech absolutist, but I think our prohibition on comment during criminal trials is probably a good thing.
Is it still sustainable, though?
Took the opportunity on @totalcrime podcast to rant about how unfair it was that nobody on social media had to comply with the rules of contempt during the Russell Brand trial...
While the mainstream media went through great pains to. Thoughts?

‘It wasn’t long until he asked me if I’d ever had sex before’: David Walliams accused of preying on young women for sex
The full investigation - after a failed high court attempt to stop the Guardian and ITN from publishing - by @MaeveMCC & @ohrhealy

Everyone says Russell Brand silenced his victims for years with legal threats.
Let's see those threats.
Lawyers will keep silencing victims and journalists in the shadows until we expose what they're doing.
f you're a journalist who received threats from Brand's lawyers, please publish them (redacting anything identifying victims).
If you can't publish, send them to me confidentially or anonymously. I'll always protect my sources.
In 2014, a woman accused Russell Brand of assault. A court then banned her from ever talking about it, even to the police. She had no lawyer; there was no proper trial.
It's hard to believe so here, for the first time, is a copy of the injunction: taxpolicy.org.uk/2026/11/07/…
Lots of people can't believe an injunction would stop someone speaking to the police. They've said I must be exaggerating.
But the terms of the injunction are clear. The Court of Appeal itself has said the injunction appears to stop her from speaking to the police.

My long read on a now seven year investigation into Russell Brand. Please share!
thetimes.com/uk/crime/articl…
Now Russell Brand's been convicted of rape, we need to talk about Sylvie Berki. Because she can't speak for herself.
In 2014, Ms Berki said she'd been assaulted by Russell Brand.
But if she talks about it, even now, she risks jail.
We only know about this case because Ms Berki was so outspoken at the time. ("harrasment")
How many others are there? People silenced forever, with no representation, and no published judgments or court orders?
I think we should be able to find out.
I now have the actual final injunction order, and it's worse than I thought: xitter.twitterapi.xyz/DanNeidle/status/21190…
On Thursday I wrote about the 2014 injunction Russell Brand obtained against a woman who accused him of assault.
I've now obtained the final order. It's breathtaking.
She had no lawyer. No trial. Yet she was silenced for life - even barred from speaking to the police.

I usually investigate tax. But I also care deeply about how the legal system can be used to silence people - not least because others have tried to use it to silence us.
