Parliament and modern technology have undermined superinjunctions in the past.
Trafigura: Labour MP Paul Farrelly introduced the topic of illegal dumping on the Ivory Coast by Trafigura into Parliamentary debate. This information was subject to superinjunction, but the Bill of Rights 1689 allows free debate in Parliament; meaning that the MP was protected from prosecution. The media then reported on the debate, and argued that they did not breach the superinjunction because they didn’t report on the court case, which the injunction covered. Trafigura dropped the injunction following this.
