New FTT decision on use of Twitter for FOI requests :

http://www.informationtribunal.gov.uk/DBFiles/Decision/i1670/Ghafoor,%20Bilal%20EA.2015.0140%20%2810.11.15%29.pdf

Says cannot use Twitter for FOI unless your twitter handle contains your name!

Interesting and goes against ICO advice.

Hopefully someone will now ask the FTT, can Spiderman make an FOI request?
