The use of cell phones and entries in social networks such as Twitter or Facebook are taboo in the North American professional basketball league NBA in the future during games. The league informed the 30 clubs in a memo. The ban begins 45 minutes before the start of the game and lasts until after the last press briefings. Electronic media may also not be used during the halftime break. The measure applies to players, coaches and those responsible for sports. The NBA did not disclose the penalties for violations.

The issue of Twitter had already made headlines at the US Open. The organizers of the tennis tournament had posted notes in the Players Lounge warning against the use of the social network. Anti-corruption rules could be undermined by "inside information." For example, a player could publish team information via Twitter and thus influence sports betting. The ban is also intended to prevent the accidental publication of club internals.
