Twitter ban lifted by Carnival Cruises

The social media policy was first reported by the travel tech Web site Tnooz last December. Under the old restrictions, nobody in the travel industry would be legally allowed to blog, tweet or post online content about Carnival – its cruises, its corporate practices – without authorization from the company.

After a few travel blogs raised hackles over the company’s gag rule, the company amended the rule and pulled the restrictive language last month.
