That's not at all the same case. Yes, it's Twitter and the Olympics, but this article is about a journalist who criticized NBC's coverage of the Olympics, named the executive responsible and cited his email address, and had his account yanked. Turns out Twitter notified NBC, too, and encouraged them to file a complaint for "disclosing personal information" even though this email address is publicly disclosed on NBC's own site. Very questionable stuff there.
- ColinWright 14y agoSorry, you're absolutely right. I dropped that comment into the reply box in the wrong tab. mea culpa - I have deleted it. Apologies for the confusion. If you delete your reply then I will delete this, and then the thread will be clean again.
- ceol 14y agoWhere is the email address disclosed on NBC's site? I'd like to see a link.
- Vivtek 14y agoI don't know. I'm repeating hearsay. (sigh) I thought it would be relatively easy to search on the email address itself to answer your question, because it's a good question, but obviously that email address is now plastered on every blog in existence. Should have Googled it a day ago, I guess. From the account I originally read, though, it wasn't posted in a terribly obvious place but it was published somewhere on one of NBC's sites. Their bio pages don't have contact information, and that's about all I can find, along with a lot of press releases quoting the man. As the president of NBC Olympics since 2005, he's said a lot of boring things in press releases. "We're confident that Adobe is the right partner for our mobile app development," and so on.
