Olympics Committee Says Non-Sponsors Are Banned from Tweeting About the Olympics

The Olympics have always been protective of their brand. I was doing some research a few weeks ago because my start-up (https://doarama.com) is creating some 3d maps of events at the Rio games and wanted to make sure I wasn't going to get on the wrong side of the games.

My research resulted in this discovery that the Olympic rings are no longer under trademark protection (according to Wikipedia) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Olympic_Rings.svg I don't see how they can ban anybody from tweeting about the Olympics as it is news.

It would be nice for the Olympic committee not to just throw out these empty threats.

The Olympics aren't hugely relevant anymore. We'd all be far better off just ignoring the games and focusing on the corruption that establishes them in the first place.

What could possibly go wrong with this :)

It will not only work, is non-enforcable, it is also totally against the spirit of the olympic games.

Double-plus good!
