Twitter Boots Critic of NBC For Tweeting Exec's Email Address

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday July 30, 2012 @11:05AM from the was-that-wrong? dept.

netbuzz writes "Guy Adams, a Los Angeles-based correspondent for The Independent of London, had his Twitter account suspended today, allegedly for having violated a Twitter privacy policy when he tweeted the workplace email address of an NBC Sports executive. The Internet is abuzz with accusations – no make that assumptions – that Twitter muzzled Adams because Adams was tweeting up a storm of protest over NBC's coverage of the Games. However, Twitter says it was because it prohibits the tweeting of 'non-public, personal email addresses.' Whether Adams did that or not appears debatable." Update: 07/31 17:48 GMT by S : Adams's Twitter account has been reinstated.

Flamebait? Don't fucking flatter yourselves. If this offends you, I positively don't want to hear a peep from your dumb fucking ass. And that is what really pisses you off, isn't it ^^
