The French Republic has banned the use of the words "facebook" and "twitter" on television and radio unless they are being directly mentioned. They claim it acts as advertising for the sites. I find this interesting as I agree and believe the continual reference of people in media does serve as a form of support. I never thought of this concerning things especially social networks before. I know some have criticized the act as a way to lessen Western influence or just nonsense but I can see the logic in it.
