Until now, the only way we could take account of those countries’ limits was to remove content globally. Starting today, we give ourselves the ability to reactively withhold content from users in a specific country — while keeping it available in the rest of the world. We have also built in a way to communicate transparently to users when content is withheld, and why.
We haven’t yet used this ability, but if and when we are required to withhold a Tweet in a specific country, we will attempt to let the user know, and we will clearly mark when the content has been withheld.

With those words earlier today, in a blog posting titled “Tweets still must flow” the management of Twitter went over to the dark side and may well have dug their own grave.
In what can only have been a fit of corporate insanity, Twitter announced that it has the ability to filter tweets to conform to the demands of various countries.
Journalists and rabble-rousers have little interest in technology itself.Journalists may be having interests in technology and in freedom of expression or opinion. But governments and organisations are the ones who prefer to keep stagnancy and keep banning anything what that stirs movement of and flow of information and knowledge. Internet censorship is becoming common and dilute and they ban even anything whatever they want to. At least they should be a way to read censored content. Censorship is valid but need justification.
and by the time "they" hear about it... it is usually too little too late.
