In April 2011 an independent South Shields councillor, Ahmed Khan, suspected by some of being the blog's author, was contacted by the social networking website Twitter. The company told Khan that a subpoena had been lodged with a Californian court, requesting the IP addresses, mobile phone numbers and e-mail addresses of individuals responsible for several Twitter accounts. The case was brought by councillors Ian Malcolm, David Potts and Anne Walsh, and council officer Rick O'Farrell, who all claimed that several accounts had been used to post libellous messages about them. In an interview with the BBC, Khan said that the company had given the council details of five Twitter accounts, two of which belonged to him.
