Regarding that it was still frozen, "Olympic sponsors are planning to close journalist Twitter accounts critical of the Olympic coverage and it is a matter of concern that this is actually a success." doing.

On the other hand, from the NBC side, a comment has been announced that "The user appealed to Twitter that the user tweeted personal information about one of our executives".
