Manchester United Fan Ordered to Remove Club Badge From Twitter Profile
Manchester United have risked further accusations of acting in a heavy-handed manner towards their fans after it emerged that one supporter’s Twitter account was suspended because it featured the official club crest.
Even though the function of the @ManUtd_Players account is to list everyone who has represented United and Newton Heath, and only has 138 followers, it is understood that club’s brand protection department weighed in to insist that the logo was taken down because it breached copyright laws.
The supporter, Jack Holt, had his account suspended on Monday after Twitter wrote to him saying it had ‘received multiple, compliant DMCA takedown notices for content posted to your account’.
