[citation][nom]tokencode[/nom]Twitter has caved, it no longer represents true freedom of speech. By adhereing to local law and providing censorship meachnism it has shown that it too has lost the vision of true freedom of information. Where the tweets of the protesters in egypt and syria legal under local law? Will twitter help regimes such as these filter anti-government tweets? Will twitter decide what governments it supports and which ones it doesn't and elect to only censor the "good" governments? The little birdie needs to grow a backbone.[/citation]
Exactly!!
I find it amazing just how far backward humanity can go with each supposed advancement. The "Arab Spring" never would have happened without Twitter, and now, Twitter caves making it all the more difficult for something like the "Arab Spring" to happen again - and all in the name of making a buck, I bet, and growing the company.
