Disturbing development at Twitter: countries will silence tweets

Here’s Twitter: “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.” This is not a good thing.

twitter! when you’re pairing with a company called chilling effect in a move that will stop and silence free speech, you might want to stop framing it as a win for human rights

hey remember when you helped resistence movements in other countries twitter

guess that won’t be happening now huh
