       @gcluley I was trying to what was the point of the injunction against unknown people who demonstrate they're not too worried about the law.But the article answered that; or at least suggested an answer.

       @smallsees Someone on LinkedIn suggested this possible explanation to me too:"My understanding of the thinking about such injunctions is that, in addition to the cosmetic / defensive elements, they can also be served on the major platforms (e.g. Google, Meta) as a form of notice of legal consequences if they allow publication of the data."
