"BBC acts to stop Twitter leaks by stars and writers" says this article on the Guardian today, revealing the BBC is wanting to stop its talent revealing things on social networks, triggered by several examples including Sophie Ellis-Bextor revealing Sting's involvement in a Ricky Gervais show.
Whereas I can understand their annoyance in secrets and plot spoilers being revealed this way and that they can, to some extent, ask people to remain schtum, but is it possible to really censor now what people put on the internet?
If the British court system and superinjunctions can't stop thousands of people tweeting about Ryan Giggs how can the Beeb stop actors and singers blabbing on Facebook and Twitter?
And, of course, once it's online it's online and there's no going back. And, let's not forget, all publicity is good publicity.
Plus it's a warning that Sting is going to appear on TV rather than making music so thanks for the heads up!
