This was sanctioned by the company as it is simply a marketing trap to make potential applicants believe a pilot job at CX is worth anything.
The whole point of prohibiting pictures is to prevent potentially sensitive, embarrassing or damaging material to be released (online or other).
In this day and age, companies are absolutely powerless against anything virally spreading over the net, no matter how much they wouldn't want it there. I can't say I disagree with the policy.

Now, I've never heard of anyone being fired for taking pictures of pretty clouds or himself in the seat, as long as he's not stupid enough to post them online.
