The Games organiser has long been concerned that digital platforms could be used by non-sponsors to piggy-back the event, dubbed the "social-media Olympics".

Industry sources claim it is was "working with Locog to ensure that the same rules that apply everywhere else will apply to Twitter".

It is understood that non-sponsors will not be allowed to buy promoted Twitter ads based on Games-related tags such as #London2012.
