High-profile Twitter user PRGuy17 has revealed his true identity to be Jeremy Maluta.

I want to protect that voice.” The Federal Court has also ordered Twitter to reveal the internet protocol address linked with the account in periods from the end of last year to February 11, as well as from March 21 to May 20. “The account has grown to one of the most influential voices in Australia but hides behind its fake profile to defame ‘political opponents’,” Mr Yemini tweeted at the time. Yemini took to Twitter to celebrate the court order, asserting PRguy “was established in 2020 to defend and justify everything Dan Andrews says and does”. The identity of a high-profile Twitter user known as PRGuy17 has finally been revealed in a video posted to YouTube. The Federal Court ordered Twitter to reveal the name and email address connected to the account earlier this month.

I’m keen to kind of get this all over and done with, get my name out there, out in the open,” Maluta said. It’s someone who’s gone absolutely bonkers ... playing the system to try and out me because he thinks I’m some kind of spook working for the government.” Twitter complied with that order and supplied Yemini with several IP addresses. He told The Age and Herald he wants to maintain his privacy. Maluta called back shortly after and, on request, provided a form of photo identification with some information obscured. It’s a bit of pressure.

The true identity of the human behind the Twitter account of @PRGuy17 is currently unknown to the broader public, including Avi Yemini of Rebel News, ...

Some of it is credible and valuable, and some of it is not. The defamation litigation battle to follow promises to be epic. Many journos shrieked for “freedom” along with the far-right nutcases, including people who’ve barracked for Yemini . If you are going to wreck the intelligence-gathering operation of Western civilisation, do so as responsibly as possible. He did not ensure the details of what was released always served the public interest. New models of journalism – or something in the vicinity of it – are treated differently. Further, they would be protected by “shield laws”, which give effect to the presumption that a journalist/source relationship should remain confidential. Yemini could sue the journo and the masthead for defamation; whether he would win is another question. In the Federal Court, this is called “preliminary discovery”. If certain criteria are satisfied, the court will compel someone (or, in this case, Telstra) to hand over identifying information about another person, so you can decide whether to sue that other person. Earlier this month, the Federal Court granted an order requiring the foreign entities behind Twitter to hand over “basic subscriber information” for @PRGuy17, including names and email addresses behind the account (which may lead nowhere), and IP addresses. The true identity of the human behind the Twitter account of @PRGuy17 is currently unknown to the broader public, including Avi Yemini of Rebel News, who claims PRGuy defamed him. From there, Yemini could sue the identified person.
