Eric Goldman, a Professor of Law at Santa Clara University, thinks the USOC approach is overly aggressive and ridiculous. He told us "I think that trying to tell companies that they can't use the hashtag #Rio2016 or #TeamUSA in their tweets, most of the time they're going far afield of what the law permits and when companies use the ambiguities of trademark law to try and squelch socially beneficial conversation, I call that bullying."
I agree with the Law Professor :upsidedow

stop whining libs. the GOP has been getting systematically censored by liberal social media. Twitter censors trump fundraisins tweets. bans milos. instagram bans a guy that makes a saucy hilary mural.

suck it up because its your shitstain PC liberal activist SJW ideology running those networks.

GFY will not make any sense anymore until 3-5 shitheads on here will be banned for ruining every thread

too bad - it's actually an interesting topic why the IOC thinks they can forbid the usage of certain words

is this also going to be in the case of i.e "good luck to the British team running today #rio2016"

sounds ludicrous to me! :2 cents:
