Is it taking away from their freedom of speech or displaying distrust in their actors/actresses? How would we like it if there was a clause on our lives. Surely relying on the actors/actresses common sense would be enough instead of limiting them.

I'm not going to do this, but I'd like to see a twitter account "What would Chad Ochocinco be tweeting right now" during games. Maybe they could put it in the ticker of the Bengals game each week. Like "Damn Palmer, is it too much to ask not to hang me out in the secondary like that? Ray hits hard" or "Glad Fitzpatrick found somewhere to play. Always liked that kid"

Imo, free speech has nothing to do with it. It's like me working for a programming company and signing a paper/contract stating not to leak company secrets.

Yes, but they don't ban you from talking to others completely, or ban you from emailing people completely.

Social media amplifies and distributes information in hypertime, without regard for geography. Look at Balloon Boy. Would this hoax even be possible without twitter? Maybe, but 100-150 tweets every few seconds? Statements like "You can also leak information by, you know, speaking, or writing an email" is immature and naive (and in the case of Mashable, self-serving)

Besides, they can speak or write e-mail to probably limited number of journalists, in which the movie studio know where to send their intimidation if they want to. But Twitter... it goes straight to the followers, and more.
Is it about deliberate leaking or accidental that they're concerned with by such no social network rule ?

Yeah, but what about the stand in Grip, or the daily sweaper. Some one will find way to leak something. THats the nature of the internet

Twitter's whole business depends on celebrities being available to stalk. If they start banning them, they might as well throw in the towel

This is too funny. It's a trend getting out of control. It's demonizing social communities, when any avenue of disclosing information is available... i.e. email, other blogs, word of mouth etc.

This is really too bad, its like chopping off the hand that's feeding them, their fans, and the social mainstream.. Its my hope they come to realize the power & future of social media & perhaps find some kind of way to moderate things, lay some ground rules using social media to their BENEFIT and viewing it as the useful tool in promotion that it is.

It's one thing to put a clause in their contracts prohibiting them from talking about their film in any public forum, including interviews, Twitter, Facebook, etc. But to outright ban them from joining or using Twitter? Makes no sense.

It would be interesting to see the specific clause that Dreamworks is using. Usually, when a movie decides it doesn't want publicity from its stars, it isn't any good.

Exactly, why would they make it top secret. It's a modern age where people need to know the current event and happenings around the world be it good news or bad news as long as it's informative and most of all if we can help. And yeah, it's definitely no different from gossiping, writing or speaking to other people. Come on, media censorship and information control? LOL I'm not even sure if people would go haywire if aliens would be announce... but then again this is hollywood and not some conspiracy to coverup some sh*t going on. In short, it's just a freakin' movie. ROFL. Aaand they're just ordinary people afterall who want to share something.

I'm always amused when a company or person fears something so much they react with pitch forks. It's the American way really, just ask the natives.
Honestly though I doubt a twitter ban is in the actual contract because there is no need for it. Your typical non disclosure agreement already covers non disclosure. Let's for argument sake say there was one in there, and either of them cared about it, Dream Works needs them more than they need another Shrek movie so I doubt it would make it to the final contract.

So did they ban them from Twitter, or just ban them from disclosing private info over Twitter. If it's the latter, I don't see anything wrong here.
From the title, I though that the Twitter admins banned Diaz and Meyers from posting.

I don't agree with them being banned from Twitter but of course they need to keep the movies secret. I still think they should be able to tweet about their life tho.

Thanks for this post! RTs is one of the most mis-used thing on Twitter.
Despite warnings to a twitter member he continually DMed ppl to say my blog was a malware distribution site. He referred to me as a NAUGHTY TWEETER. It's totally untrue. I warned his RTers and 3 took down the RT.
My blog NEVER hosted malware of any kind. He was unable to tell me the malware proggie name and which page he saw it, that he said his Norton anti-virus had spotted. I told him to take down his misleading tweets while I try to sort things out on my end. He did not cooperate.
While all these are going on, 2 IT teams and several other Twitter members told me they don't spot anything malware. My webhosting service provider only said it was a Badge link causing the problem and I promptly removed it.
Currently I am working out with my webhosting provider on how to remove SKADOODLE.com ad links in my blog (previously he said it was another advertiser's link) as I cannot even log into my wordpress dashboard. Skadoodle.com ad links - they are flagged by Google to be hosting malware. My blog became an unknowing victim.
I remember this Twitter member had asked me questions about vaccines and health. He does not believe in the anti-vaccine logic nor about the toxins in them. Everytime I followed him back, he unfollowed me. I unfollowed him too. And he will follow me back again, the whole cycle repeats. I shoulda sense TROUBLE earlier but I did not. This was a Twitter member with a hidden agenda who wanted my Twitter account and blog DEAD.
