That is, the mention of the words will not be allowed, from the sounds of it, on news and talk shows.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-......dio.html "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. or on the radio." This stems from "a 1992 decree which stipulates that commercial enterprises should not be promoted on news programs" unless they are relevant or pivotal to the story. Spokesman for France’s Conseil Supérieur de l’Audiovisuel(CSA), Christine Kelly suggests that mentioning the sites by name would be a "distortion of competition," asking "[w]hy give preference to Facebook, which is worth billion of dollars, when there are many other social networks that are struggling for recognition?"

"...or on the radio. or on the radio." They are so adamant about this that they said it twice. For emphasis. For emphasis.

Yet another badly written topic..... They didn't ban mention of it.... they can mention it if "they are relevant or pivotal to the story." As in "on his twitter account, justin beiber announced he cut his hair"

Yes, I think it's a uk thing.
For some reason when I copy text on my phone the beginning and end get repeated. Usually I delete all the repeated stuff, but must have missed that part.

Not this again... you write "france bans twitter and facebook from mention on radio and tv, as a thread headline. then you mention that (they can be)"...they are relevant to the story". so, to conclude, france did not ban twitter and facebook from mention on radio and tv.

"Not this again"? Kevin, YOU brought it up. And again, I simply took the wording from the articles head line.
Sorry I didn't feel like squeezing every last bit into the thread title. Hell, if I did, then why even bother reading anything more than the thread names?

I think that there is more than a little truth in what gdw has posted. From the linked article:

I like the idea behind the law. The news is no place for product placement. I have no idea if it's a good law or not.

I would not say simply taking the thread titles from the headlines is intentionally writing misleading conclusions.

A merchant in my building had to have frosted glass entirely around his store because he sells tobacco products, and the government fears that the easily impressionable kiddies will be lured into smoking by the advertising of Rothman's or whoever makes cigarettes nowadays. The smokes are hidden behind drapes in grocery stores, with nary a smidgen of product label to be seen - or hefty fines ensue for the merchant. Yet, kids under the legal smoking age are readily indulging right outside his store all the time. We now have a camera set up to look into the merchant's store to reduce the number of thefts he has had since the morons reasoned no one can see whats going on because the windows are frosted.
All these laws are stupid and don't work. |

The "Banned" part of this topic reminds me when someone puts up a You tube vid and says "Banned in America" or where ever. If the vid was indeed banned then it wouldn't even be able to be viewed by anyone in the U.S. be it on Y.T. or elsewhere. Shows how some people can't even grasp what banned really means.
