We're not going to apologise for returning to the storm surrounding the suspension of a journalist's Twitter account because in a free-speech democracy, this stuff matters.To re-cap:The Twitter account of Guy Adams, a US-based journalist for the UK-based Independent newspaper has been suspended by Twitter. In common with many, many media outlets, Adams has been highly critical of NBC's Olympics coverage, and he's by no means alone. But when he tweeted a top NBC executive's email address, NBC complained, and his account was suspended, as we've reported, for allegedly posting someone else's private information. Something against the company's rules. (Twitter and NBC are partners for the Olympic Games, although there's no suggestion that there is any conspiracy here).
