Is Censoring Tweets a Good Idea?


By far and away the biggest news this week to me was the announcement from Twitter that it will censor tweets in some countries. See the Huffington Post write-up here.

Kinda crazy.

But it turns out that there are fairly easy ways to circumvent this Twitter censorship - see this MSNBC post here:

1) Just change your country setting.

Is it really all that simple? What's the point of "censoring" Tweets? Whose side is Twitter on?
