Original Note:
Misleading tweet as a person's state of hunger does not diminish defamation and a clause stipulating no comment on the case in public is common in settled defamation cases. This person is a sociology lecturer in a university so was not in danger of becoming homeless. https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/courts/2023/05/16/david-quinn-settles-with-campaigner-over-highly-defamatory-tweet/
