PM Says Privacy Injunctions Are 'Unsustainable'
The Prime Minister has described the current situation surrounding privacy rulings as "unsustainable" and unfair on the press.
Speaking to ITV1's Daybreak, David Cameron said the law should be reviewed to "catch up with how people consume media today".
The comments comes after the Sunday Herald became the UK's first newspaper to print the footballer accused on Twitter of taking out a privacy injunction.
Lawyers for the Sun are now approaching the High Court to ask for the injunction to be lifted.
