My response to that would be; how do you know that he isn't Michael Mouse?
I refer to our colleague on here "Jethro R. Binks" - I thought that was a
made a up name for months until it turned out he was a real person. Sorry
Jethro!
I always advise that unless there are other reasons to refuse, then ignore
(within reason) the name and provide the information. I think the ICO
"advice" on this was not very helpful when it came out.

I note it says that it must be the individual's real name - how do you prove
that as there is nothing in the Act about proving name. Obviously if they
used Mickey Mouse then we can say that it is not a valid request. However
if they used e.g. "John Smith" how can you turn that down?

Seeing that Twitter has come up, has anyone any experience in handling
tweets as SARs or FOI requests? I see from ICO FAQs on the subject that some
tweets might be valid requests - see

Subject: Re: [data-protection] Any Twitterers Out there?
Jonathan, thanks for the list. One of the challenges, with Twitter, is
finding and following links that do not tweet very often. For example, one
will find specialist lawyers who may tweet occasionally on specific cases,
but not in general. For example Adam Wagner at UK Human rights blog.
http://ukhumanrightsblog.com/
Another good source, on twitter, are the journalists who specialize on
privacy or information rights issues. I cannot think of any off the top of
my head beyond Martin Rosenbaum as they often cover other topics.
A final caveat, is that tweets can be eclectic and people, like me (for
example), can tweet on a range of topics beyond data protection. :)
Be sure to use the hashtag #dpa as that will help you track tweets and allow
others to pick up your tweets on that topic.
Best,
Lawrence
@lldzne :) (I tweet on a lot of topics unrelated to data protection. :)
P.S. Most of all, have fun, it is a great resource with a lot of clever and
knowledgeable people willing to share information.

Subject: [data-protection] Any Twitterers Out there?
After seeing some interesting tweets on a different subject, I have decided
to join the ranks of Twitter in order to keep an eye on DP related tweets.
Does anyone do this already and do you have any recommended individuals to
follow, please?
Thanks
