The Internet Makes You Declare Winners, Unless You?re On French TV

In an extremely absurd move by French TV regulatory agency CSA, the French can�no longer say the words�"Facebook" or "Twitter" on television unless they are in the context of a news story. While France has an interesting history of regulating the adoption of American words through its�Toubon Laws�the move isn't Toubon-related. Rather it's about the fact that the usage of these words on television constitutes an ad for these specific social networking services, showing preferential treatment to them and not others like the French based�Skyrock.
