French ban the words 'Twitter' and 'Facebook' from being used on TV and radio | Mail Online

French ban the words 'Twitter' and 'Facebook' from being used on TV and radio | Mail Online: "In a controversial move the French government has said that it will enforce a law so that the words 'Facebook' and 'Twitter' will not be allowed to be spoken on the television or on the radio.

President Nicolas Sarkozy's colleagues have agreed to uphold a 1992 decree which stipulates that commercial enterprises should not be promoted on news programs.

Broadcasting anchors from now on are forbidden to refer to the popular social networking site and the microblogging phenomenon, unless it is pivotal and relevant to a news item."
