    Twitter suspends British journalist critical of NBC’s Olympics coverage

    Social media site sparks wave of indignation for banning Independent journalist Guy Adams after complaint from NBC

    The Twitter homepage appears on a screen
    Some speculated that NBC had asked Twitter to remove Adams’s account after critical tweets.

    Twitter has brought down a hail of critical tweeting on its own head by suspending the account of a British newspaper’s Los Angeles correspondent following his acerbic reporting of NBC’s coverage of the Olympics.

    The social media network hummed with the indignation of thousands of its users after the Twitter feed of Guy Adams of the Independent disappeared. The paper’s deputy editor, Archie Bland, confirmed the suspension, calling it “heavy-handed”.
