Keep in mind that although you may consider certain information to be private, not all postings of such information may be a violation of this policy. If information was previously posted or displayed elsewhere on the Internet prior to being put on Twitter, it is not a violation of this policy.

I would think this would be controlling, but i don’t know…

Why in God’s name is a Nigel critiquing NBC’s coverage?

Don’t worry — they’re making plans for Nigel.

[it's] quite worrying that NBC, whose parent company are an Olympic sponsor,

GE doesn’t own NBC anymore…he can take his complaint to Comcast which owns all of NBCU.

NBC and Twitter look bad for this even if it is – as it appears – perfectly within their policies to do.

This guy looks bad for being a douchey troll that is getting people to harass a guy just doing his job.

Everyone looks bad. It’s like Christina Hendricks up in here.

Agree.
Agree.
How dare you????

When we receive your report, we’ll investigate the account and Tweets you reported. If the information in the reported Tweets was previously posted elsewhere on the Internet, it is not a violation of our policy and we will not take action.

That’s the key part obviously.

Its a bit arbitrary that this guy could have published the email addy on his blog before he tweeted it out to make it alright. Guess I’ll need to remember this for my future nefarious twitter endeavors.

///what were we talking about again?

Right wing blogger posts addresses two months ago. Probably made an educated guess also. So I guess it was “public” before the tweet

I agree that there’s plenty to go around. The policy I see (“twitter rules”) mentions SSN, home address, and credit card numbers. Not sure this rises to that, particularly if the publisher had no actual knowledge of the email address but just stated it based on other public info.

This is what you should be looking at.

don’t even remember TST’s departure.

Sad, really.

I got the same reaction over the weekend for not knowing the whole BBoB story.

NBC are a load of twats

Maybe that’s why they don’t want anyone Twatting about the Games.

Hypo: Could I get in trouble if I said that @CuriousGeorger’s password was 1234 with absolutely no actual knowledge if that was true? Or only if his password actually was 1234?

That’s the stupidest combination I’ve ever heard. That’s the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage.

Only if it was to his luggage.

…number one in your hearts.

So you can protest in gymnastics? Japan sure has a lot of pull.

/spoiler alert

Ha. I was watching and didn’t want to say anything. Prince Harry looked good though

The problem I have is how NBC dicks over the mountain and pacific timezones. They delayed all the weekend coverage, including the basketball game
