Dismissal for gross misconduct by an employer where an employee has posted offensive tweets on their private Twitter account was backed by the Employment Appeals Tribunal (Mr. Laws ./. Game Retail Ltd.). The EAT did not believe that the employee in this case could ever have considered his offensive tweets to be private, given that he knew that he was followed by many co-employees by their Twitter accounts which again were followed by customers of the employer.
