Reuters: Twitter reinstates British journalist after outcry



Twitter Inc reinstated a British journalist's account on Tuesday and apologized after an outcry over his suspension for posting an NBC-Universal executive's email address on the service threatened to tarnish the company's reputation.

Twitter's policy also says that if information is available elsewhere on the Internet, posting that information on Twitter is not a violation.
