Twitter, trolling and the law

You can listen to the full discussion, in which I joined Vanessa Barnett, a partner at Charles Russell LLP, Carl Gardner, a former government lawyer who writes about law at Head of Legal blog, and Ian Cram, a Professor of Comparative Constitutional Law at Leeds University:

    Thanks Mark, but at >28mins long the vid for many (including me) is tldw, ie “too long, didn’t watch”.
